Week of: Nov. 3-9

Aries
I warned you about shooting first and asking questions next week. It's
next week, and you should be asking very penetrating questions right
now. As my pappy used to say, "put on your thinking cap...." Yes, this
is good week to put on the thinking cap. Did you think about the travel
options? Are you going to make a long journey some place? You should.

Taurus
Maybe the early part of the week isn't so hot for you, and maybe you're
just not a morning person, or maybe it's you're not a fall person.
Whatever the case may be, you feel like burrowing under the covers for
awhile, and not coming out until Wednesday. Then things get better. A
New Moon turns on your creative juicer, which means you have an idea or
two to hatch. Just don't count eggs and expecting each and every one to
become a baby chick.

Gemini
How's your workout routine going? You feel like you're supposed to be
spending more time at the gym, maybe extra time on the treadmill. Hell,
even getting up to change the tee-vee channel would help. With the
holidays coming up, you want to be in good shape before they arrive.
Stick to the special FGS workout schedule: Excersie number one is
getting out of bed.

Cancer
This is a another good week for you crusty Crustaceans. Get out of your
shell this week. About weekend plans: You might renegotiate with your
significant other, housemate, roommate or pet -- whatever you have a
relationship with -- because you will want to be ready for last-minute
changes.

Leo
Your week starts with a big bang like the one scientists say created our
universe. Then it's time to face the complicated morass of duct tape
that holds everything together in your life. It's by no means a bad time
and given that you have strong Leo sentiments, it's a good week for what
you do best: party. Don't be perturbed if others aren't willing to help
you in this festive time.

Virgo
Put romance thoughts aside for the week. Put them in a neat container,
vacuum seal it for freshness, then store them on a shelf. Make sure the
shelf is clean lest you're tempted to clean it. Nope, put everything
else aside and concentrate on work for awhile. It's a good time to
launch a new project, or christen a new boat -- a bass boat -- I hope.

Libra
Many signs are having a hard time getting started this week. The good
news is that you don't. You have plenty of get up and go for the Monday
morning rush. If you don't, try another cup of FGS brand truckstop
triple French-Italian roast coffee, and you'll have the energy to get
the week rolling right. The only problems approach as you run out of
steam along about Thursday. Friday is a welcome relief, too, and you
need to cool your heels next weekend.

Scorpio
A series of bad jokes made the e-mail and fax rounds recently, something
along the lines of "You know it's going to be bad day when...." They're
ha-ha funny, even amusing. It's even more amusing to wake up to the
sound of a live news crew knocking on your door. That's a punchline from
one of those jokes, and that's also what this week is going to be like.
Now remember, this is typical Scorpio sarcastic humor, so you'll know
exactly what to say to the tee-vee news person with the cable-ready hair
after the microphone has been thrust in your face.

Sagittarius
If it's not one thing, it's another. You need to be in three different
places this week, and all demand your attention NOW. Are you doing
something about this? It starts with romance at home, then there's work,
and finally, you have some poker buddies who literally demand you show
up for a game. One of them might have stacked the deck because they get
mad at your good luck. Take your own deck with you just to keep everyone
honest.

Capricorn
Venus and Mars make a grand entrance in your sign the end of this week.
It's a love combination, of course. So much for the good news. The hot,
burning Lava Lamp of Love is like a plate put in front of you at a
Mexican Restaurant: "This plate itself is very hot." If it's good
Southwestern cuisine, the food is hot, too, but I was worried about you
burning yourself on the plate. Give everything a chance to cool off
before diving in.

Aquarius
Time for classic cinema: "2001," the original. You're forced to perform
some kind of surgery on a computer brain this week, and maybe disconnect
it from its memory banks. All the while, it will be singing some song.
If this is a consulted example, then think about this: you are off on an
adventure, and, at some point, you have to take command of the
situation. That command position is coming this week. Now do what you
have to do.

Pisces
Nothing but a good week that'll get better. At least better for the most
part. I wouldn't go all out on this "better" theme, but by the weekend,
you should be feeling better. Better better better. I wonder how many
times I have to repeat this before it comes true?



Week of: November 3-9

First Kiss cost me a dollar, second cost me two
At this rate I'll be in the po'House after a week of lovin you.
Misery won't buy company, of that I'm livin' proof
Have to sell my soul to the devil just to spend some time with you.

Aries : I warned you about shooting first and asking questions next week. It's next week, and you should be asking a few, very penetrating, questions right now. As my old pappy used to say, "put on your thinking cap...." Yes, this is good week to put on the thinking cap. Did you think about the travel options? Are you gong to make a long journey someplace? You should.

Taurus : Maybe the early part of the week isn't so hot for you, and maybe you're just not a morning person, or maybe it's you're not a fall person. Whatever the case may be, you feel like burrowing under the covers for a while, and not coming out until Wednesday. Then things get better. There's a New Moon which turns on your creative juice maker, and that means you got an idea or two that gets hatched. Just don't be counting eggs and expecting each and every one to become a baby chick.

Gemini : How's the old workout routine going this week? I guess you feel like you're supposed to be spending more time at the gym, maybe some extra time on the treadmill would help.

Cancer : This is a another good week for you Crustaceans. Plan on getting out of your shell a little because this is a good week to be out and about.

Leo : Your week starts out with a big bang, sort of like the one that some scientists say created our universe.

However, don't be perturbed if others are not so willing to help assist you in this festive time.

Virgo : Put them old Romance thoughts aside for the week. Just put them in neat container, and shove them on a shelf. I hope it isn't a dusty shelf, because then you would tempted to clean it. Nope, put everything else aside, and concentrate on some work stuff for a while. This is a good time to launch a new project, sort of like christening a new boat, a bass boat, I would hope.

Libra : A lot of signs are having a hard time getting started this week.. The good news is that you don't suffer from this ailment. You have plenty of get up and go for the Monday morning rush.

Scorpio : There was a series of bad jokes which made the email and fax rounds, something along the lines of "you know it's going to be bad day when...." and these jokes are infinitely amusing. It's even more amusing to wake up to the sound of a live news crew knocking on your door. That's one of the punch lines from those jokes, and that's also what this week is going to be like. Now remember, this is typical Scorpio sarcastic humor, so take it with a pound or two of sodium chloride.

Sagittarius : If it's not one thing, then it's another. You need to be in a about three different places this week, and all of these areas of your life are demanding your attention. Are you doing something about this? It starts with romance at home, then there's work, and finally, you have some poker buddies who are literally demanding you show up for a game.

Capricorn : Venus and Mars make a grand entrance into your sign at the end of the week. This is a love combination, and it means that romance fills the air. So much for the good news.

If it's really good South Western cuisine, the food is hot, too, but I was worried about you burning yourself on the plate. Give everything a chance to cool off before diving in.

Aquarius : Time for a little classic cinema: 2001, the original. You will find that you are forced to perform some kind of surgery on a computer brain this week, and maybe disconnect it from its memory banks. All the while, it will be singing some song. If this is a convulted example, then think about this: you are off on an adventure, and, at some point, you have to take command of the situation. That command position is coming this week, now do what you have to do.

Pisces : It's nothing but a good week and it is continually getting better. At least, better for the most part. I wouldn't go all out on this "better" theme, but by the time the weekend gets here, you should be feeling much better. Better better better. I wonder how many times I have to repeat this before it does get better?
