in ShakespeareÍs

WinterÍs Tale (Act I, scene ii)

What a nice sentiment, ñhappy star regin now!î So much for the good news. The astrology computer tells me that the little one (MercuryÜever mercuruial) goes retrograde this motnh. Beware ofthe Ides of April? But, the good news is that Mars does, indeed, right his errant flight and turn around on the 27th. Good news, indeed!

ì Aries [3/21-4/19]: Once again, and I kjnow this sounds like repeat from last month, but once again Aries has two areas of interest. Love and money. DonÍt confuse the two. With Veus and the Sun doing an early morning thing in your sign, you find the beginning of the month is full of many pleasures. Or lots of work. And as the month gets older (and so do you), the earning capacity needs your attention, too.

£ Taurus [4/20-5/20]:

You know, everyone else is going to feel this little ñeclipseî thing, and itÍs going to miss you. Not completely, but this is someplace youÍve already been. In fact, I wouldnÍt be panic stricken at all if I were you. The only surprises youÍve got coming hit right around the Ides of March. Not that I would ever like to mangle any of the BardÍs words, but ñBeware of the Id of Marchî and IÍm not talking about a cartoon character.

È Gemini [5/21-6/20]:

You need to make some changes, like this comes as any surprise, this changes are happening in your appearance at work. However it is that you present yourself to the public, whatever set of ñclothesî you wear, or costume, as the case may be, is going to be different by the end of the month. It could be hair style, a wardrobe upgrade, or something more drastic „ like a brand new truck. Or luxury sedan. Or worse, a new urban assault sport utility vehicle.

Ù Cancer [6/21-7/22]:

You have a new word this month, learn it and learn it well: frustration. Just about every week of this month holds a frustrating event for you. What are you going to do about it? I would head for lake, get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and get someplace where life is good. And quiet. Yes, you need the silence. These frustrations neednÍt bother you, so just ñsnap out of it.î (Easy for me to say!)

å Leo [7/23-8/22]:

The first part of the month goes well for you. The middle part of the month is a piece of cake. The last few days, however, are what the New Age Folk call ñchallenging.î Right. It wonÍt be boring, and thatÍs supposed to be even more good news. youÍre going to find the last few days of the month bring some upset to your routine. If you can accept change with grace, then you will do okay. If you, however, human, and donÍt take to this change too well, then there might be some problems. As always, my fine Leo friend, party on!

¹ Virgo [8/23-9/22]: I surely donÍt want to fill you with doom and gloom for the coming month, but T.S. Eliot comes to mind at a time like this, especially the opeing phrases to his epic poem, The Wate Land. I suggest you look it up because a little epic poetrey might be really beneficial this month. YouÍve got a lot of little problems which are major dilemas struggling to get out. DonÍt say I didnÍt warn you.

ë Libra [9/23-10/22]:

As much as I want to give you lots of good news, there just isnÍt a lot to say right now. Yes, you are going to experience an eclipse. Yes, the Sun is moving into Aries, which is opposite you. Yes, Mars is retrograde in your 12th House. Yes, yes, yes. Better figure that you are going to feel like a spinning top, about to loose its precarious balance this month.

Š Scorpio [10/23-11/21]:

Last month was just the beginning, and thatÍs the trouble for you ScorpioÜtypes, it was only the beginning. ItÍs time to lower your expectations. I didnÍt say lower your standards, just what you expect other people to do right now. ñTheyî would be so much happier, if ñtheyî just followed your orders.

‡ Sagittarius [11/22-12/21]:

I like rodeo metaphors. The problem being, with Rodeo as a sport, there really isnÍt too many events which I can liken this month too. After last monthÍs wild time, this seems like fishing in barrel, to borrow another cliche. Oh sure thereÍs that Lunar/solar thing, but it wonÍt be shaken your world too much. This is one of those times when it is good travel, and by travel, I mean as far away as possible.

­ Capricorn [12/22-1/19]:

I know that money isnÍt everything. I know that it doesnÍt really make the world go round. And I know CappyÍs are more concerned with world peace, art, literature, and the finer things in life, but the point is, it takes money to buy this stuff. Last month, I suggested looking under some rocks, and this month, I have to warn you about distinguishing between FoolÍs Gold and the real thing.

– Aquarius [1/20-2/18]:

I long time ago, or so it seems like a long time ago, I recommended that all Aquarius go out and buy a truly mobile home, you know, like a turtle. Take everything with you, at least, the stuff thatÍs important. I still think thatÍs the best idea for you. But this month, plan on spending as much time as possible with that new homestead.

‰ Pisces [2/19-3/20]:

What an interesting month youÍre going to have: if it isnÍt one bizarre influence, then it will be another. The love duo of Mars and Venus set up an interesting problem set for you. Fortunately, you will find a way to juggle them all. YouÍre amazing.
