Week of: 11/30-12/6
Aries : Monday morning is going to feel a like a replay. Imagine a tragic football game where the home team, favored by a large margin, just screws up every play. Feel like a rerun from the last few years? Imagine that you are that championship team (who would he be talking about?), and imagine that you fumble on every scoring drive. I’ll promise that there is some good news. Next week, on Monday night football, you get to regain your lost glory. But this week? Try not to lose track of what is important. You are headed to the playoffs, you just don’t feel like it, not after this Monday.
Taurus : There are some weeks when it’s just better to stay home. Seeing as how all you communications which seem to be important, the note to the bank loan officer, the credit card company, the loan shark, and so forth… all seems to be lost in space right now, I guess this really is a good time to stay home. Looks like the mail man is going to be bringing you angry notes. Now, there is some good news, those little missle-type missives? They are intended for some one else. It was just an addressing error. So, whatever you do, don’t panic.
Gemini : Ah yes, we’ve got a full moon in the lovely sign of the twins this week. However, this isn’t the best time to be Gemini. Well, maybe it is. Depends on how bifructated you are. And with the little Mercury thing going on, next to your full moon, you are going to feel terribly split this week. Part of you wants to party like Leo, party with a wild abandon, part like some Prince song, and the other part of you wants to cower at home, under the bed. Safest place for you to be, or so it seems. So, seeing as how there really are two of you, it looks like you are going to have to be in two places at once. It’s okay, you’re the mighty Gemini, you can do it.
Cancer : I’m adopting an attitude of a drill sergeant this week — Okay you Moon Children, listen up and listen up good: the first part of the week is career stuff. Pay attention. Over some minor difficulties. Give me fifty push ups and I mean now. Then, get ready, soldier, as the weekend gets closer because all of this drill and marching around stuff is going to give way to a big party. The harder you work this week, the more you get play this weekend. Got that, soldier?
Leo : Curious time for a Leo, this week. In fact, your curiosity can get you in trouble this week. It’s like you know where the best place to fish is, that special spot just below the dam, the place where the truly large (trophy size) fish hang out. And you’ve even got the right bait. Of course, no one will believe that you’ve landed that one huge fish this week, and trying to take along a witness is just going to make it all seem like another fish story. Now, the deal is this: careful with the “stretchers” this week because most folks aren’t going to believe you, even though you are telling the truth.
Virgo : There are sometimes, when, no matter what I say, the typical Virgo isn’t happy with me. Of course, if you’re reading this, you certainly aren’t a typical Virgo. But that doesn’t stop the moon from hanging out in your 12th house, nor does it stop pesky Mercury from making a less than wonderful condition for your appearance this week. In fact, review some of the Mercury Retrograde notes so you have a better idea about what is going on. It’s not all bad, but don’t try getting anyone to understand what you’re saying. Tell them, “Kramer said to take the week off for Personal Time.” Thank me after this week is over.
Libra : Mars is a lovely little planet. And it brings a high degree of activity with it when it visits a sign. So you’ve got that going on this week. The problem is that the pernicious little Mercury makes a slight angle to Mars. In plain English, there’s a some good stuff brewing on the stove top, but you’ve got to let this stuff simmer for while. It’s like my special chili, you’ve got let the ingredients get to know each other, develop more than a passing acquaintance before you you serve up this fine dish. And like my chili, what ever it is that you’ve got cooking is going to be plenty hot.
Scorpio : I’ve got nothing but good news for Scorpio. Well, mostly good news. At least, there’s some good news. Other than some minor yet ever-present pesky problem in getting people to understand that you are right, things look real good for you. And, despite the warnings about starting a romance under a Retrograde Mercury, I’m going to fly in the face of convention, and I’ll suggest that there is a new romance on your horizon. Maybe it’s an old romance that gets started back up, but it looks good, either way. Maybe not that good, but you’ve always got that Scorpio Skepticism, and that’s a good idea this week, times being what they are.
Sagittarius : Retrograde Mercury slaps Pluto, in the sky, during the early part of this week. It ain’t bad, just different. And you’ve also got Venus floating through the last part of the the Archer Heaven right now. Which means this week is anything but heaven. The word for the week is dream land, and you might want to get after checking the travel schedule, or, as the case may be, double checking your travel arrangements because it looks like there might be some trouble with plans this week. Perhaps this isn’t the best time to be “on the road” even though you like it so much.
Capricorn : There has been some mighty nice relief lately in the sign of the Sea Goat. And, the mighty Capricorn is in a position, as of now, to make dreams actually happen. Things are good. Nay, things are great. Well, okay, so Mercury is backwards, but you’re not going to let a little thing like that get in your way, are you? There’s this ever-persistant idea that you could actually win a Texas State lottery this week, but you have to be in the right country to buy the ticket. Now, if you can just figure out where you’re supposed to be….
Aquarius : There was a Gemini who once complained about my Aquarius forecast. The reader complained about how nice I was to the “cold and unemotional” Aquarius sign. I take all my mail serious, but let’s not worry about that right now. Things are looking up and up in the sign of the water-bearer this week. Even the pesky Mercury thing isn’t getting you down this week. However, there will be some form of verbal communication which is going to be misunderstood. My suggestion is to write out everything before you say it. While this might not be practical, trust me, it can prevent dreaded “hoof in mouth” disease.
Pisces : As I was looking at Chicken Parts for this week’s Pisces forecast, I got a little sidetracked because the tasty fried chicken livers go so well with jalapenos. There’s just something about this combination of chicken parts and peppers that seems to satisfy my appetite these days. And food is an INTERESTING topic this week, as is diet. Looks like you’ve fallen off your diet a little bit. Not that it matters, though because it is still a good week up ahead. Looks like there is a recurrent love interest later in the week, and this prurient interest gets stronger as the weekend approaches.
