Aries, March 21 to April 19
A mirage hovers in front of your eyes: beautiful, handsome, intelligent, good-natured and completely available. Grab it before it disappears!
Remember, I said it was a mirage?
Back to reality. If you want to find love, you’ll need to be realistic and stay down-to-earth. You’re not going to find that right person by wishing them into existence. Just like a thirsty traveler on the desert, the mirage of the perfect person looms ahead of you on the arid, vast plain of love.
Let’s put this metaphor away, shall we? It’s highly possible that you’ll meet someone who seems to be exactly what you’ve been looking for. You’ll feel that they’re what you need in order to be happy, healthy and wise. Just remember, if it seems too good to be true, it is.
The key to a successful connection with someone is to look beyond your feelings and what you’d like them to be. By being realistic, as well is optimistic, you’ll allow yourself the luxury of truth and enable a true relationship to arise.
We’re close to Halloween, so it’s perfectly all right to see them as they are, warts, knuckle hair and all.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are your best days to see through the illusions.
Taurus
April 20 to May 20
A carrot is being dangled in front of you, and it’s organic, of course.
Temptation looms and you need to be aware that you may make a mistake if you aren’t completely aware of your surroundings, feelings and circumstances. This isn’t the time to act unconsciously or to think from the pelvis.
If you happen to be in the mood for a bit of naughty play, it’d be best not to do so in your neighborhood. Pick another part of town to dirty up. The key is not to be seen unless you want the word to be spread that you’ve been extremely mischievous.
Back to that dangling carrot. Pesky as it may be, someone may find you to be extremely alluring and want to completely dominate your time and energies.
Although this may sound like fun in the beginning, it could turn out to be problematic as time goes on. They’ll be luring you in with a promise that simply isn’t true.
Just make sure that if they dangle a carrot in front of you that you get to dangle something back.
Make Thursday through the weekend your time to go searching for vegetables.
Gemini
May 21 to June 20
Take a bow, you genius, you. (Yes, I am talking to you.)
Even though you may not feel like an Einstein, chances are you’ll be perceived as very intelligent, intellectually based and formidable. Of course, this will only be obvious if you can manage to keep from saying something incredibly inappropriate.
Aha, therein lies the proverbial rub. (Although the actual rub is every bit as good, in my opinion.)
The perception of you as being intellectually magnificent will last as long as you don’t say something completely and totally ridiculous at the wrong time. You need to be conscious and aware of every word that comes out of your mouth, especially if you’re trying to impress somebody you’ve just met.
This will also manifest as the ability to put your foot in your mouth in a current relationship. In other words, think twice before speaking or don’t speak at all.
This ability to show off your perceived high IQ will come in quite handy as the week draws to an end in impressing that person mentioned above.
You could meet this someone in a social setting that thrives on such pretentious views. Don’t be put off by snobbery as its only part of their armor.
Keeping your emotions under control in public situations is also advised. Keep those pants on until you get home, or to your car.
Monday, Wednesday Thursday and Sunday are excellent days to display your gray matter, and your brains.
Cancer
June 21 to July 22
A work-related romance could be in the making. If you aren’t employed currently, or the people you work with completely revolt you, be aware that this could manifest in other places as well.
The key is to remember that familiarity, although breeding contempt, can also bring people together. You could find romantic situations blooming in a very unexpected place.
Perhaps standing in line at the post office (an activity which should enable you to find out everything you need to know about a person down to the most intimate detail as you’ll definitely have the time) or a visit to the grocery store is in order.
This would also be an excellent time to accept an invitation to play with others. One word of warning here, refrain from becoming inebriated or so screwed up that you don’t know exactly what you’re doing at all times.
Should you allow your consciousness to slip, even just a little bit, you could end up making some gigantic mistakes in judgment, as well as exposing huge gaps in your personality and even your anatomy.
Although complete sobriety may not be your particular bag, wear it, at least for this week.
By the way, a phone call could open a door that needs to be closed quickly.
The entire week should prove quite interesting when it comes to meeting people.
Leo
July 23 to August 22
Allow your persona to be larger-than-life and you’ll find commoners flock, like moths to a 150 watt bulb, to your magical aura.
All right, I know I sound a bit cynical here but bear with me. If you can maintain a sense of grandeur about you, others will sense it as well. In fact, the more understated you can be about it, the better.
This is an excellent time to be seen, as well as heard, and to allow others to get to know you better. Opening up emotionally is not only advised but almost mandated by the energy swelling within you throughout the week.
You can expect to meet at least two or three brand new possibilities for romance. Although you may be uncertain as to which to pick, one will stand out as being the best.
The advisability of embarking on a physical relationship at this time is pretty much left up to you. Your charisma will be high and others will want what you have. This, in turn, may allow you to get what they have as well.
Be aware that someone with a needy personality may want to attach themselves permanently. Although a spray bottle filled with ammonia would probably do the trick, it might also get you into trouble. Be alert and don’t trifle with someone’s feelings as they seem to be overly vulnerable.
Monday, Tuesday on the weekend are your days to be a luminary.
Virgo
August 23 to September 22
Love and jealousy go hand-in-hand, don’t they?
The ugly green monster(doesn’t he can vegetables?) may rear its ugly, green head to reveal more green ugliness.
Yes, jealousy is a real possibility this week. You may be the recipient of this worthless energy, or you may be the one putting it out into the world. Either way, the results could be extremely negative.
Stay away from emotional entanglements that make you feel insecure or accentuate what may be perceived as personal weak points. If you happen to be playing with someone who loves to flirt with other people to make you jealous, stay away from them.
Likewise, should you find yourself beginning to feel as though you are being put upon by someone who doesn’t want you to feel free, stay away. This may mean simply staying quiet in the midst of a conversation when otherwise you might want to verbalize how uncomfortable you really are.
If you can keep from getting jealous, you’ll have the opportunity to meet someone who could be well worth your time and effort when it comes to romance. They’re not going to be the type that you can hold onto for long, but will be incredibly fun to play with while you can.
Of course, if you decide to get into a round of full contact, corn oil enhanced hide and seek, play the game safely and without strings attached.
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are good days to connect.
Libra
September 23 to October 22
The past may be beckoning.
It’s possible that a relationship that you thought was long gone is about to turn up again. This may come in the form of an old acquaintance, or it may be a pattern that becomes resurrected.
You don’t have to be a fan of zombie movies to know that such situations rarely turn out well. Generally speaking, they seek to devour your brain and this particular relationship isn’t any different. It’ll also be going after your heart.
When meeting new people, and chances are you’ll meet plenty of them, try to see through them and into your own past.
You’ll be attracting prospects that seem to be carbon copies of people you’ve already been through. Remember, no matter how great the temptation, it’s a bad idea to go back to something, even if you thought it was fun at the time.
This is doubly true if you happen to be called by an old flame. Heartburn is assured.
Stick with new energies throughout the week and everything will work out much, much better. This means going to new parts of town and seeking out interesting new people who don’t remind you of someone you used to know.
The weekend is your best time to avoid the creatures of the past.
Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
Perhaps you’ve had your eye on that special someone. Well put it back in its socket and be prepared to make a commitment to ask them out on a date.
Nothing’s going to fall into your lap, at least nothing worth having in your lap, so you need to get out there and be proactive when it comes to love and romance. This means socializing and being the proverbial life of the party.
Of course, you’ll need to have a party or two to go to an order for this to happen but that shouldn’t be a problem as long as you let people know that you’re in the mood to frolic.
Should you find yourself being invited to one or more shindigs, make sure to say yes or it’s probable that you won’t be asked again.
At least one opportunity to meet someone who could be well worthwhile is coming your way. Once again, make sure to assent or you could miss out on something great.
A word here regarding a strategy on how you should appear; try to be as helpful to others as possible in order to make the best possible impression that you can. Yes indeed, this is a scheming sort of way to think, but it’ll serve you well throughout the week.
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday are excellent days to play.
Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Try not to let yourself be coerced into an unpleasant social engagement.
You need to enjoy yourself. The foundation behind this advice isn’t only about feeling good, it’s also about being successful when it comes to love.
If you appear to be uncomfortable, grumpy, sullen, morose, in the wrong place at the wrong time, constipated, or any of the above, you’ll lose out. It’s important that you appear to be happy, or at least relatively content with the surroundings, and are a regular sort of guy or gal.
All of this will serve to paint you in a pretty light and allow you to be seen as interesting and desirable.
Several social opportunities may be coming your way, and you should say yes to as many of them as you can without exhausting yourself.
If you don’t find yourself being asked out, ask yourself out and go places where you know interesting people reside.
This is a great week to spend time playing with friends, going out into the world and, in general, being kind of wacky. (Wackiness is a relative term and as there are no absolutes when it comes to degrees of wackiness, I can’t be held responsible for overdoing it.)
Wednesday through the weekend is your time to be wacky.
Capricorn
December 22 to January19
Stop what you’re doing, get up and go look in a mirror. I really mean it, get up and go look in a mirror.
You looked way too serious didn’t you? Well let me tell you something, if I can see it from here, you can bet that others notice it as well.
Lighten up or you’ll end up being serious all by yourself throughout the week. I can tell you from personal experience, it ain’t no fun.
The key to meeting people is to relax and not to be so clenched in every situation that occurs. You may be finding that there are difficulties in your career or in “real world” situations. Try to let them go, at least when it comes to dealing with other people.
This is an excellent time to let go of some of your tensions by doing something that you don’t usually do. (Although I probably don’t need to say this, then again maybe I do, common sense is always to be taken into account.)
I might advise going to a cultural event of some sort as you may find someone who has the same seriousness as you. If you can make them smile, you’ll smile and then they’ll end up making you smile, which in turn will make them smile as well. Everyone will be smiling and all will be well with the world. At least for a while.
The downtown Denver Metro area’s perfect for the fun and games that you seek.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are excellent days to keep it light and happy.
🙂
Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
Someone may be trying to force you into a particular way of thinking or acting.
Of course, this is a love column so the chances are it’s someone desiring to get you into a relationship, or someone you may want to be connected to. There’s also the possibility that you’re already involved with this person. However this manifests, be alert!
Allowing yourself to be coerced is the worst possible scenario that can evolve throughout the week.
You need to be sure of your own mind and to do so, you need to be able to be introspective when it comes to what you want and what you’ve gotten out of relationships over the past few months. This inner vision will serve you well and could make things as clear as can be.
This new clarity could be horrifying to you or it may be exactly what you’ve needed in order to move away from a dizzying spiral of emotional confusion.
A new relationship could be coming your way and it may be purely physical. One important question to ask is, is it real or is it hormones? I’d advise staying away from such connections at this time, as you’re much too vulnerable.
Be cautious but willing to venture out into the world in order to play. Monday, Friday and Saturday are good days to do so.
Pisces
February 19 to March 20
Being reckless could break your heart more than there are broken limbs from trees in my neighborhood… and that’s a lot.
Venturing into the world of love and romance is risky all of the time, but especially this week. The energy surrounding you is such that you could be prone to making big mistakes without knowing it.
This need to be fully aware of what you’re doing is magnified by the fact that your desires will be strong throughout the week.
Let’s add to this mess with the possibility that someone who’s almost everything you’ve been looking for may find you this week. This person may have every dynamic quality you seek, and some that you hadn’t thought of yet.
Before packing for the honeymoon, take a deep breath and make sure you know what you’re doing.
It’s important that you ascertain whether this person is truly available or not. Such certainty will only come through lengthy conversations and perhaps a bit of investigative homework. You also need to be certain that the two of you are compatible.
As you can tell, I’m encouraging you to be cautious and not to move too quickly and to read the first couple of paragraphs again. Have fun but do be careful.
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are pretty safe days to play.
