Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The National Retail Federation estimates that American
consumers spent $15.7 billion on Valentine's Day gifts in 2011.
Show the ones you love some love this mid-February jubilee with
something old, new, borrowed or blue. Do something non-
traditional: go to a waterpark, cook a fancy dinner, dance in the
kitchen. Diamonds are overdone. And, while you're busy
spending all that money on chocolates and out-of-season roses,
don't forget to show your Street Roots vendor some love.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) A lot of things
- not everything - but a lot of things will spin out of
control next week. Could be a lot of fun if you take it
with the right grain of Irrational thinking. Let go of the
reins and chaos will probably — but not necessarily —
work for you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Stop worrying that pins and needles, but the answers will reveal themselves
you're being followed all the time. Looking over your
shoulder too often will give you a stiff neck and a
nervous twitch, neither of which you will ever fully take
advantage of. So keep plowing ahead! Always forward!

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Practice doesn't
make perfect if you practice it wrong. But who can tell
the difference. Perfection is a cat's whisker away from
the dimple on a baby's butt. It's out there, but it's not

up, already, and you'll find your nirvana.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Solid propers to

soon. Lunar patterns are always melodramatic this time
of year, and often promise more than they can deliver,
so don't sweat it. Play it extra cool until the 24th.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You already know
your future - in very, very small increments. Don't ask
for more than that.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Put more things in
writing. The anthropologist of your life will want more to
go on than grocery lists and Post-it notes. Writing is a
form of art — the sensual to language's sensibility —
and your thoughts could use a little romance.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 23) Soup Can is

at a time when more and more people are compelled to
employ the benefits of public transportation, in a city
