    Aries
    : I promised relief, and it’s here. Well, it’s here this coming weekend. Now
    it’s your turn to enjoy the beneficial rays of Mr. Mars. In case you don’t
    realize it, Mr. Mars is your main planet. He’s "the man." Regrettably,
    he also acts like "the bomb," too. Make sure that this doesn’t turn
    into an explosive situation. By the end of the week, there’s a certain Scorpio
    who will enter your life (although my money is on the term "reenter"
    as opposed to just plain "enter") (but I’m trying to cover as much
    ground as possible.) (And I’m using far too many parenthetical expressions.)
    By the end of the week, a lot of dust will be kicked up. And like a West Texas
    signature dust storm, this leaves a fine silt behind. It’s something that
    you have to deal with. It’s the particulate matter which turns out to be important.
    Maybe cleaning up will be the relief.

    Taurus : There was one American author, a Scorpio, who I really enjoyed
    hearing lecture. He keeps claiming that he’s retiring, but he keeps pumping
    out books although his material is getting considerably more arcane and steeped
    in metaphor these days. His work comes to mind. In one of his lectures, he
    claimed that we all needed to establish our own extended family as a form
    of support. This week, you’re going to find that this is the case for you.
    Extended family is important. Your group of people who help act as support
    are important. And as long as you have the heavens on your side, you’re going
    to find that it’s particularly easy to get along with this group. Might not
    be family in the strictest sense of the term, but you get the idea — the
    folks that you hang with. The guys you love as brothers and the girls you
    treat like sisters. Plan on a family reunion of sorts. Just no cruising folks
    to pick up at this family reunion — that’s still considered bad
    form
    .

    Gemini : It will be real important not to undertake any ill-considered
    actions this week. A buddy shows up and suggests that you take the weekend
    off, and "go to
    Mexico
    " with him. Not that I have any personal experience with this
    myself, not ever having spent any time in towns along the border myself, but
    you get the general drift. While a vacation is always a good idea, you might
    want to give a it pause for a moment or two in Gemini time, and consider your
    actions. Just where is it that you want to go, and are you sure that this
    is the right companion to travel with? These are important questions, and
    these are worth looking at right now. In fact, if you are considering a trip
    to a border town or similar environment, do you have some bail money? A little
    contingency planning before the weekend gets here is a good idea. It’s not
    like I have any experience with this, not me, but it never hurts to tuck a
    little cash in your boot, "just in case."

    Cancer : You and me, we have both done this routine
    before. It’s the same thing, not at the same time, but happens every year.
    It’s Venus influence, and it’s not always nice. Can be, but in your Cancer
    mind, you’re thinking, "Okay, Fishing Guide, what’s the deal?" Venus
    is opposite you all week long. Makes for some uncomfortable energy. Can be
    good, and in traditional astrology, this is not considered a bad thing. But
    with Valentine’s day so close at hand, you have to stop and think about it.
    Venus is the love planet, and she is stirring up a mess for you. On paper,
    this means it’s time to examine a relationship that you hold near and dear
    to your Cancer heart right now. In the real world, though, I wonder if that
    isn’t best left to another time, after all, Halloween, I mean Valentine’s
    Day is next week.

    Leo : I found a nice word that seems to work well with what this week
    might look like. For a real prognostication about your chart, a free and abbreviated
    chart interpretation, drop me a line with the real definition of "Haruspice"
    and how that definition applies to this week, and I’ll get you an abbreviated
    report back via e-mail. It turns out that this is a week where you feel like
    you’ve been listening to the hype, the media’s frenzied feeding, the listless
    day time talk shows, all about what is going on. In fact, you’re missing a
    salient point that is really important. Don’t over look a true love who is
    quietly waiting for you, as the big Monday thing approaches. Yes, that means
    next week, not this week.

    Virgo : The week gets off to quite a start as you get a little kick.
    It’s like hooking yourself up to a battery
    charger
    . You really meant to charge the battery in the boat, but you got
    sidetracked, and then you got yourself connected to the jumper leads, and
    the next thing you know, you’re getting a high dose of voltage through your
    own system. That was meant to charge up the battery, but it looks like you
    get a permanent as a new hair style. I’m not sure that you’re really going
    to be working on an electrical device come Monday morning, but you get the
    general drift of this idea. Now, after getting a charge like that, you might
    tend to be over cautious the rest of the week. The deal is this: don’t be.
    One little shock to the system is no reason to be excessively worried about
    anything else. It’s just one blast, and then you can get back to the usual
    romantic stuff.

    Libra : I still have a strong feeling about good things for Libra Ville
    coming up. It’s that time of the year when it’s cool outside (in Texas it’s
    still allegedly winter) with warm weather for a few days that are clear and
    crisp, and that’s what you’re like most of this time. Your brain is working
    a little bit better than usual. Now, we’ve had all the admonishment for Libra
    that you guys can take, so I’m not going to lecture about romance. "There’s
    a great day a-coming,
    " so get ready to enjoy it as best you can.
    There’s a bit of a tension angle floating around in your personal sky, but
    it’s not so tense that you can’t find a silver lining to that cloud.

    Scorpio : You might want to review some of the things I’ve suggested
    to Sagittarius over the years, especially at this time. I’ve found that mail
    – merge Valentine notes don’t work so well. I’ve also found that addressing
    a note to "[inset name here] or current resident" is not a good
    move. Why all the attention right now? You are hot, hot like only the Texas
    sun can be in the middle of the summer, and you want to communicate in a passionate
    way. The problem I’ve discovered with this sort of arrangement is that you
    may try to use mass communications as a tool, and I’m not sure that the idea
    really translates to your targets’ mind the same way you intended it. A personal
    note is a lot a better than some kind of form letter. Trust me on this, I
    know a little too well.

    Sagittarius : Not many Sagittarius friends of mine are going to like
    this week.
    In fact, most of us ain’t going to like it one little bit. There’s an up and
    down, oscillating feeling. It’s like the fish radar keeps returning inconclusive
    data. The trick is not to rely on your own intuition. Your own, personal fish
    radar will only pick up trash that’s gathered along the bottom of the pond,
    and you keep thinking you’re about to strike it big when, in fact, there’s
    nothing there. Now, this sounds bad. What really happens? There is a stealth
    fish, one that is invisible to your radar, and that’s who is going to strike,
    as the weekend approaches. So it’s not like it’s all bad, but the first of
    the week, and your own, personal receiver, both seem to be a little off at
    the start. Don’t worry, the stealth stuff works well — you’re going to
    be pleasantly fooled
    by the weekend.

    Capricorn : It was years ago, maybe even just last year, when I promised
    all those good things. And, being the capricious
    Capricorn
    that you are, you avoided the situation with the best of your
    ability. Not that it’s bad to avoid some situations, but this is one you were
    supposed to pay attention to, then. Guess what? It’s back, and it’s going
    to happen. And that which has been promised for so long finally gets delivered.
    Personally, I think that this is a good time to start planning a wedding.
    Of course, in some Capricorn’s terms, maybe "merger" would be a
    better expression. It’s the cumulative effect of several years, all stacking
    up on this one week. Sort of.

    Aquarius : There’s that inexorable pace at which the wheel in the sky,
    the plane (plain?) of the planets, that description of the orbits, moves.
    You’re going to feel like this week is that same old song and dance. Same
    old story. There’s a big degree of ennui coming up from this whole romance
    thang. You’re getting tired of it. It makes you sleepy. Of course romance
    is a good thing. Of course you enjoy it. But you’ve got other things which
    demand
    your attention right now. Time to shift your focus. Look up a decent Sagittarius,
    and see what you can do to adopt that long-range way of looking at things.
    That’s what you might try in order to get a better perspective on the week.

    Pisces : I’ve got a friend with one of the most impressive BBQ Pit
    in his back yard. It looks like a giant 55 gallon drum sitting there, with
    all sorts of things added on, a little chimney, a spurious smokestack, chrome
    plated tongs for flipping steak, perhaps it’s one the best pits I’ve ever
    inspected. And life is like that BBQ pit. The lid comes slamming down on the
    smoldering flames. Mars moves out of Pisces as the week gets longer, and that’s
    going to chill things out for you. Before you worry about the flame going
    out, though, consider that the various vents on that BBQ pit allow for a slow
    cooking process now. That slow-smoked
    meat is sometimes the tenderest, and that what might result from this week.
