Aries (3/21-4/19): This week you
will experience a massive mood
swing. Try to keep it in check by
drinking a gallon of water. This
will help clean out your system.
By midweek friends who are close
to you will share something valu
able, so try to remember the fa
vor in the future. Your sweet spot:
somewhere by a lake or river.

Taurus (4/20-5/20): For some rea
son you cannot get yourself mo
tivated. You should try yoga. If
that doesn’t work, take a hot
bath, grab a great book and relax.
If the problem still persists, try
tackling the first person you see.
The problem may have some
thing to do with aggression.
Your sweet spot: the gym.
Gemini (5/21-6/20):Theopposite
sex seems to control your life
right now. Take a breather by
choosing only one. I know this
may be hard because you are
such a hot item, but please, it is
for the safety of all of mankind.
Your sweet spot: the bedroom.
Cancer (6/21-7/22): While every
thing in your life may seem o.k.
right now, try to consider your
friends’ feelings too. They may
not be having as easy a time with
things. A little advice: Just be
cause she says nothing is wrong
does not mean nothing is wrong.
It is time to do a little investiga
tive work. Your sweet spot: the
doghouse.
Leo (7/23-8/22): You need to get
out more. Drop whatever you
had planned this weekend and
party. Your biology book will still
be there Sunday night. You
might feel the urge to buy a new
outfit for this big party, put that
urge on hold. You are only bud
geted enough for either a top or
bottom. Your sweet spot: the
mall.
Virgo (8/23-9/22): “It’s too good
to be true” has been your motto
lately. Never fear, it all is true.
Your best friend loves you. Your
parents think you are magnificent
and your job wants to promote
you. Just make sure everyone
knows you believe his or her
praises are true. Confidence will
get you everywhere, my dear.
Your sweet spot: your workplace.
Libra (9/23-10/22): To help get
over the blues, you should stay
stocked up on candy. While this
may wreak havoc on your diet,
this will only last for about a week.
Try walking a couple of times a
week. This will help regulate the
weight gain from the candy. Your
sweet spot: the track.
Scorpio (10/23-11/21): Your love
life is in turmoil. Eventually you
will have to listen to others. Re
member it is o.k. to cry, just keep
it healthy. Try not to let depres
sion come over you. If you are a
guy, rent an action-packed flick.
If you are a gal, invite your best
buds over for a romantic sobfest
including movies like “Sleepless
in Seattle,” “Titanic” and
“You’ve Got Mail.” Your sweet
spot: your best friend’s house.
Sagittarius (11/22-12/21): It is
time for you to voice your opin
ion. There are times to be quiet,
but now is not the time. You cre
ate the mood for the day for the
people around you. It is time for
you to decide your mood and let
it be known to your peers. Try
writing a letter to each of your
friends. Your sweet spot: near a
pen and paper.
Capricorn (12/22-1/19): Now
that the Super Bowl is over, you
feel like you have nothing left to
look forward to. My advice, get
a life. Go find your dream per
son and enjoy your holiday. If it
is your honey who is obsessed
with football, I suggest “playing
the game” to get his attention.
Your sweet spot: the field (trans
late that however you please).
Aquarius (1/20-2/18): Sleep is
very important! Remember this
Sunday night before you decide
to go out one more time before
the week begins again. Follow1
the signs of your body, it knows
what you can handle much more
than you do. Your sweet spot: in
bed.
Pisces (2/19-3/20): Don’t sell
yourself short this week. Some
one is noticing you from afar.
Wait a few weeks and he or she
will confide in you. Sparks will
fly by the end of the month. Be
more active in clubs or sports.
You may discover who the mys
tery person is before he or she
can come to you. Your sweet
spot: school.

Le Bistro Montage, located at 301 Morrison St., offers Cajun
cuisine in a French bistro atmosphere.
Le Bistro Montage opened un
der the Morrison Bridge in 1992
and immediately became a
hipster hotspot, the place for
clubhoppers to refuel on cheap
after-hours grub. A more main
stream crowd now rubs elbows
with the hipsters, but Montage
remains as cool as ever.
Voted one of Portland’s best
restaurants every year since its
start in 1992, including “Best
Restaurant of the Year” for 1993
in The Willamette Week’s Restau
rant Guide, Montage continues
to bring in people from all over
Portland. Combining French-bis
tro atmosphere with down-home
Cajun cookin’, you can eat your

100
imported wines.
Walk in the
door
(and
there’s usually a
line), and it may
WaZ/c
appear that ev
eryone knows
each other. They
don’t, or at least
they didn’t; The
scene inside
Montage is in
complete con
trast to the
empty and quiet
street scene outside. You definitely
feel like you are entering an oasis,
a hidden club for scenesters. But
because it’s Portland, because the
town is fundamentally nice and
egalitarian, there’s no attitude. Ev
eryone is welcome to the party.
Tables are shared — in fact, one
wall is lined with a single, seem
ingly mile-long table. This is the
place to eavesdrop on your neigh-
bors’ conversations. Eating at
Montage is more like a night at the
theater than a culinary outing.
Along with being seated at a long
table with total strangers, no res
ervations or credit cards are ac
cepted, and service can be sassy
and sly.
The Cajun-inspired cuisine
here can be uneven, so stick to
the basics. Start with an order
of oyster or mussel shooters and
try not to be embarrassed when
your server bellows the order to
the kitchen. Or
try the Cajun-
seared
gator
bites, which are
spicy and ten
der. Jambalaya
comes in many
variations, in
cluding ones
with scallops,
frog legs, catfish,
mussels, craw
fish, rock shrimp,
or andouille sau
sage.
One of the best (and cheapest)
items on the menu is the mac and
cheese, which comes in flavors
like green-basil pesto mac, Spam
spicy mac,and hamand smoked
cheddar mac.
Leftovers, which are inevi
table, arrive wrapped in tinfoil,
cleverly sculpted in the shapes
of crabs, swans, flowers or a
three-foot-high medieval sword.
