Thereare plants - growing right under our noses, that even with a dousing of Thousand Island, care more for their preservation than our satisfaction! Don’t sink your teeth into just anything this month. Keep your liver strong for the m inor indescretion and don’t put anything in your mouth that’s covered in a m ayonaise sauce until well after August. G e m in i (M a y 2 1 -J u n e 2 1 ) Seek out the massage this month, from friends, lovers, strangers, fence posts. There’s magic in the rub, the laying on of hands. It’s an appetite enhancing, anger suppressing, love inducing way to get to know someone better, and for all we know it probably fights free radicals to boot! Get your rub on today! C a n c e r (J u n e 2 2 -J u ty 2 2 ) It’s time like these when you should be thankful for just about anything. Life will take you in 12 directions this year, and at least eight of them won’t be what you were expecting. Expect to be thrown for a loop this week. Take it in stride, and you’ll rebound quickly. Over think it, and you’re screwed. the workplace. You may not find it deep down within yourself either. Maybe it’s out in the world, waiting for you, or right before your very eyes. Have an open mind. V irg o (A u g . 2 4 -S e p t. 2 2 ) If you think for one minute that you’re secure in your ability to access every little thing life has offered for you, you’re wrong. Like really wrong. Don’t hesitate to walk the long road and sing a simple song. Your destination is the same in the end. Enjoy the ride. (And please stop bitching.) L ib ra (S e p t. 2 3 -O c t. 2 3 ) There’s times when it’s right, and times when it’s wrong. Doesn’t matterif you’re not following your dreams. Reach out for the impossible. You might be surprised what comes. S c o r p io (O c t.2 4 -N o v . 2 2 ) Your future doesn’t look so bright. I suggest doing something that makes you uncomfortable this month. Maybe something you’ve never done before. Find your inner child and experience the thrill of discovery. Be honest with yourself. S a g itta riu s (N ov. 2 3 -D e c .2 3 ) Find some flowers around the neighborhood, and deliver them to someone who needs a pick me up. It win mean the world to someone. Plus, you’ll feel better. It’s a win- win, so long as you don’t get caught trimming flowers from the neighbor’s yard. L e o (J u ly 2 3 -A u g . 2 3 ) There’s a reason they say C a p ric o rn (D e c . 2 4 -J a n . 1 9 ) This is the part in money won’t buy you love. Neither will success in x the show when things get a little blurry. You have i r NX , 8st Porttend,OR972M something to prove. You have no idea what. You need something new. Something fresh. You haven’t a clue. Maybe you leave your partner, your job, you buy a One-way ticket to somewhere nice. Maybe you don’t change your clothes for days on end. Whatever it id, it’s OK. Whatever way you decide to go is fine. - There’s no wrong or right way, just yoyr way. Embrace it- A q u a r iu s (J a n . 2 0 -F e b . 1 9 ) It’s a sunny day. Won’t be long. Haha! Raining again. Yep. Sounds like your mood, moody. Stop being such a stick in the mud. And please, with the whole moral judgment thing. Stop being so god damn politically correct and inject some fun into the game, life that is. What does this all mean? Short-sentences. Ban run-on sentences from your way of life. Now. Be free. Fly. P is c e s (F e b . 2 0 -M a rc h 2 0 ) Congrats. You have the shortest horoscope of the week. Soup Can isn’t saying it’s a bad thing. Just is. Be on your toes. Anything could happen. A rie s (M a rc h 2 1 -A p ril 2 0 ) It’s becoming harder and harder to understand the world around us. Twitter says that Facebook has left behind My Space and Hotmail. Woooo, wooo, Wait, what? You’re looking for connections on Linked In. You lose. Like bad. Really bad. Note: Successful people don’t need a Linked In account, and other people don’t care. Stop already.
