HOROSCOPES V V By Soup Can Sam, staff astrologist
Leo (July 23-Aug. 23)
It’s about time you woke up. There’s a great deal going
on out there in the world and you are a part of it,
whether you like it or not. Your actions make a
difference in large and small ways. Start looking at how
you live and the ramification your choices have on
others. This can be from what you eat and where you
get your food to how you choose to look at people when
you pass them on the street. Smile.

hurry? OK, maybe you don’t need to stop or stallKbut
slow your pace considerably. Wherever you are
speeding off to is not as important as the time it takes
to get there and the road along the way.

A r i e s ( M a r c h 2 1 - A p r i l 2 0 ) You REALLY don’t have

S a g it t a r iu s ( N o v . 2 3 - D e c . 2 3 ) Go to higher heights
these next couple of weeks. Glimb to the top of one of
the tallest places available. You could hike up to
Council Crest for a view of our neighboring mountains
or take the stairs to the top of ‘big pink’ to survey the
city and the river. Heck, even a stroll to the center of
whichever bridge you are nearest can make a
difference.; The air is fresher, plus life sometimes looks
different from up there.
C a p r ic o r n ( D e c . 2 4 - J a n . 1 9 ) All life is touching
others. Experiment with this one throughout August
and into September. Note that our moods elevate when
we have more physical contact with each each other.
Even in little ways such as giving hugs that last longer
than 5 seconds and a friendly hand on the shoulder.

what you are rushing off to. Try standing still.
Sometimes what you need will come to you.

you still have heart.
G e m in i ( M a y 2 1 - J u n e 2 1 ) “How in the heck can I
wash my neck if it ain’t gonna rain no more?” Have no
fear the wet stuff will be back sooner than you think. In
the meantime a little spit and a paper napkin work
wonders. If you are more removed from the city’s urban
center, a little tree moss works well for both the top and
bottom end.
C a n c e r ( J u n e 2 2 - J u i y 2 2 ) Consider creating a social
group devoted to all things silly. Get together at least
once a week to tell immature jokes, chuckle and maybe
even tickle each other when the day to day gives you
no other reason to laugh.
