Week of 6.1.1998

Week of: 6/1-7
“Thou debosh’d fish, thou!”
in Shakepeare’s The Tempest (II.ii.25)

June 1, 1963, Texas A&M allows women to enroll.

Aries : Fresh air is wafting its way gently into your sign. Time for a season of change. Just as it is getting really hot, you’ll notice that you seem to be surrounded by a little cloud of mosquitoes. Waving your arms around won’t work this week, these are persistent insects. And the dull summer heat just furthers this inconvenience. But it is a season for some nice changes, just up ahead. Get out the bull dozer and consider grading the front the driveway. Nothing like getting prepared for the good stuff coming up. And nothing can be more entertaining than riding around on an earthmover, even if it’s only for an afternoon.

Taurus : This week is dedicated to Home Beatification which is important this time. My personal, FGS favorite trick at this time, is to get out the metal polish and work on the hub cap wind chimes we’ve got decorating the patio. Maybe check that string of Christmas lights, and replace all the burned out bulbs. I can’t say that I’m too fond of yard work, but mowing your front line might uncover a an extra derelict car that you could work on. And the best spring time planting tip for the Taurus Gardner? Old tractor tires makes the best planters. Just roll them over in the yard and fill ’em up with dirt….

Gemini : Okay, my fine and dear Gemini friends, this is it: it is a week of nothing but good things for you. There are some minor little obstacles, sort of like small speed bumps in the parking lot of life, but you go roaring over those at a good speed and never look back. Mercury is your main planet and it enters Gemini this week so you will feel like you’re supercharged, between the little one and Mars, you will be going at it like the proverbial battery brand bunny. Just don’t look back after you fly over that speed bump, you might have left part of your undercarriage back there. This is one week it helps not to look back on.

Cancer : I’ve got this old truck that I’m really happy with. It burns gas, oil and leaks various automotive fluids, but it is dependable. You need to consider getting yourself an old truck like mine. It isn’t fancy and I’m too cheap to put freon in the AC, but it gets me there, just chugging down the road. In fact, with a pony tail and Grateful Dead sticker, I don’t inspire confidence in other drivers. They get out of my way. I call it my stealth truck. They’ll never know what hit them. Try a little stealth action this week, for all you Moon Children. And if you can’t try stealth action, try a new (old) stealth truck.

Leo : Suddenly you are going to wish you get a cloned. You are going to need two of you to get everything accomplished that you want to get done this week. It’s a busy, busy week. And if it doesn’t feel like it’s a busy week, then schedule yourself some more leisure time activity, because everyone knows, play is an important event to a Leo. And you need to play as much as possible. As someone like Hamlet might say, “The play’s the thing.” If we can work on that cloning, we’ll let you know.

Virgo : There is yet another hopeful turn this week in the continuing saga of your romantic entanglements. It’s a good week for the tall, dark, handsome and rich, prince (or princess) to enter into your life. As if they haven’t already. And I keep getting a message from the planets that looks like a wedding proposal. Now, this might be real or this might be metaphorical, but you’ve got one headed your way. You know the routine, being a good Virgo, get references, work-history resume, and a note from their doctor. You’ll be glad you asked, and you are not being unreasonable.

Libra : Wrap it up. Wrap it up, now. Get the final touches put on your project this week. All good things must come to an end (bad things, too). This is a hopeful little mantra for this week. I seem to remember the strains to a song that went something like that, if you can sing that song to me, in email, of course, I’ll send you a free listing of your planets, a basic chart report. Of course, instead of corresponding with an astrologer, you should be wrapping up this final project. And those musicians are from Austin.

Scorpio : Let’s try something new this week for the Scorpion: partners. It’s time to embrace that spirit of cooperation. It’s time to think like a team player rather than thinking like the lone eagle. It’s time to pull it together as group and make an effort to make it all work out. Imagine yourself covered with fishing gear, on the shores of a great fishing lake, and then, you look over at your fishing partner, and reach out and give him a big hug. It’s not normal in fishing guy circles for guys to hug guys. But you feel that, brotherly, camaraderie kind of thing going on.

Sagittarius : This is a good time for some dedicated effort toward resolving old problems. In fact this is a great time for this work. Just be careful about what problems you want to tackle. Bull riding, either as a hobby or a profession is out for this week. It takes way too much out of you to get back up off the ground. What you need to do is to pick your fights with extra care this week. Don’t attack anything that is an absolutely hopeless case because you ain’t going to win. No way. But do pick, lesser, weaker targets and you can do just fine.

Capricorn : Wind up that business deal, that one big deal which is destined to make you rich and famous. Wind up that one deal which you have been oh-so-patiently working on for a while now. Put all the pieces together, pull it all into one heap on top of your desktop, and sort through the fine intricacies of the contracts and agreements, and make it all work. Time to excel. Depending on the deal, it might be time for Excel. Time for your spot of fame this week. Now, just be very careful about relationships…. your significant other, insignificant other, or intended target might not understand you this week.

Aquarius : Ever try surfing? I don’t mean on the internet, either, I mean the real thing. The idea, the concept, is to catch a wave and ride on the crest, all the way to dry land without falling in. You have that ability this week, to stay right ahead of the crest of the wave. Reminds me of a music movement called “New Wave,” which reminds me of a of a literary genre called “cyberpunk.” Which reminds me that you are still on the cutting edge of stuff this week. Don’t let the little currents or dark shapes with big fins get you down.

Pisces : There comes a time in every Pisces life when they have to make a stand. “Hold up or fold up,” as the song goes. And this one of those weeks. This whole “hold or fold” (or run away) situation is either enhanced, or made worse by your present mental state. I would never suggest that Pisces were unstable as a lot. But the recent fluctuations in the stars has left you feeling a little unsteady on your feet, so to speak. Do something this week. My best personal advice, come close so I can whisper, is, “Run away.” At least it’s a nice idea.
