A2 Astrology
by Emily Baker

ARIES March 21 - April 19
You know how to take charge of out of control situations. People rely on your innate quality to rule and conquer, so that they can feel comfortable and safe. Be sure to keep an extra close watch over your friends this month, they may be putting themselves into some sticky situations.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20
You have managed to completely fall off the face of the earth, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad place for you to be. You usually seem content wallowing alone in self-pity, so why try and change anything in your life for the better. My advice to you is to stay under the rock.

GEMINI May 21 - June 21
Your friends love you because you’re fun, creative, and hilarious. But, they wish that you were a little more empathetic. Sometimes you ignore your friend’s feelings, and you don’t realize when you are causing them pain. Next time you’re telling an embarrassing story or spreading gossip about your friend, think of how it will make them feel first.

CANCER June 22 - July 22
You may need to call Nancy Reagan to help you get the leeches off, because everyone is trying to suck all the life out of you. Between your family, your friends, your work and your mate, you don’t have any time for yourself. So prepare to lose all your energy and earnings to the parasites. You can’t put a little salt on this problem.

LEO July 23 - August 22
The bad mood you’ve been in for most of the summer seems to be improving, but don’t be surprised if people are still trying to keep their distance from you. Some of your close associates are worried about you turning red in the face and blowing up at them for silly reasons. So before you put this paper down count to ten and calm yourself, so you can smile for the rest of the day.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22
If you have the fire and the force, then you most likely have the power to make your evil take its course. But be careful because you may not be able to tell if the night is real or if it’s fantasy. Who knows it may just be a reflection of your own mind staring back at you.

LIBRA September 23 - October 23
You’re constantly elevating your life to more fulfilling levels. It seems as if everyday you do something more amazing than ever before. You are on the right track for success; your future will be bright and rewarding. All you need to do now is keep the inspiration pumping and refuse to bend over or give in.

SCORPIO October 24 - November 21
If you’re feeling bighearted you should treat all of your favorite people to a feast. They are very dissevering of any generosity that you are willing to give, and would love for you to pamper them. If you don’t know anybody then volunteer some of your time to meals on wheels, there’s a person out there who regularly dines alone who would love some dinner company.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 21
Brain farts are in your future. Don’t be surprised if you end up spending most of your time staring blankly into space, your minds on mental meltdown. Writing your name and address on the back of your hand may be helpful during emergency situations. Good Luck.

CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19
Procrastinating will get you nowhere fast. If you have been putting off a big project that needs to get done, complete it as soon as possible. You will find a great relief when you see the finished product and you’d be able to take on new, more advanced endeavors.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 18
You’re faced with some mighty big choices right now, but in reality you only have one option available. You need to follow your heart; it will take you the furthest on your travels through life. Run to the place where you will feel the most love, and you should be content with your decision.

PISCES February 19 - March 20
You’re quick to start throwing out accusations, without hearing the full story. Maybe next time you should wait to hear all sides before making judgments about situations you know little about. Finger pointing is a sure way to lose friends, so delay from slamming down the gavel until you’ve heard all the evidence.
