AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

You might not recognize Lady Luck if you wrongly assume that she won’t be disguised in a mask or costume. Sure as shootin’, she’s around this week and holds the key to the conclusion you seek. If you’re payin’ attention and not actin’ dumb, she’ll help you to realize you’re hooped — for an outcome!

PISCES (FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

Disappointment ain’t always such a bad thing due to the realizations it brings. Like how nothin’ gets handed to you on a big silver platter — you’ve gotta work for it, if it truly does matter. This week, use the lessons you’ve learned and whatever you get’ll be rightfully earned!

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

If you’re honest and forthright in all that you do, then there ain’t nothin’ The Man can put over on you. In other words — don’t ask, don’t tell, cover your ass and everything’ll be swell. This week, if you come correct, success is something you can expect!

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

Most folks think money’ll fix all their troubles, but in many cases, it’ll cause ’em to double. Moolah ain’t always so coolah and if you ain’t smart with the bucks you get, you’ll find it’s easier to wind up in debt. This week, be careful with cash to avoid bein’ under the slave driver’s lash!

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

Everybody knows your ruler, Mercury, has got wings on his helmet ’n’ feet, and that’s what makes him so swift ’n’ fleet. But do you understand what he holds in his hand? It’s the caduceus — the sign of the medical biz. This week, no matter how hard it is, help others ease their pain and in the end, you’ll also gain!

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

You’ve got a problem that can’t be ignored and it’s the fact that you’re so dang bored. You need a challenge, like a karmic bitch-slap, to force you to draw from the strength you’ve yet to tap. This week, if you’re up to the test, you’ll be amazed at your newly found zest!

LEO (JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

Givin’ up all to make something work can leave you with nothin’ except feelin’ like a jerk. Your commitment to caring’s commendable, but your resources ain’t infinitely expendable. This week, give all that you’re able, but make sure you can put food on your own table!

VIRGO (AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

One of the symbols of Virgo is a girl surrounded by suitors, bein’ choosy before pickin’ one that perfectly suits her. Like her, you should be delayin’ a decision until it entirely aligns with your vision. This week, keep on jugglin’ until you find what fits the bill!

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

Don’t celebrate quite yet ’cause it ain’t a sure bet that this ain’t as far as you’re gonna get. You still haven’t climbed as high as you wished — you’ve only just got base camp established. That was the easy part, and now here’s the real test: climbin’ to the top of your own Everest!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

"Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die," is a great philosophy, but it’s often a lie. Like it was all of those times you didn’t actually croak but awoke the next day, hungover and broke. This week, save the strain on your wallet, organs and head and prepare for tomorrow in case you ain’t dead!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

There ain’t nothin’ wrong with struttin’ around like you’re the cock o’ the walk while all the other chickens cluck as they gawk. Hey, if you got it, flaunt it, right? That ain’t the problem — what gets you in heck is when walkin’ tall ain’t enough and you start to peck. This week, no matter how hot you is, keep your beak outta other hen’s biz!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

If you’re lookin’ around with your eyes wide open, you’ll notice that nature ain’t sittin’ ’round mopin’ about winter’s imminent start. Heck, no — plants and animals are busy puttin’ on extra hair and tryin’ to prepare their winter fare. This week, take a page outta their book and start stockin’ the pantry so you’ll have somethin’ to cook!
