Aries
March 21 to April 19
Get ready for a stimulating week.
You could find yourself meeting fascinating and exciting people. Each one of these folks may be more than willing to play and enjoy your valuable company.
Be careful, however, when dealing with new connections. Someone may seem to be exactly what you’ve been looking for, but you may have to go through a maze of dysfunction to get to them.
This energy may also manifest as someone who pretends to be something, when in fact they’re quite the opposite. This advice is especially important if you happen to be involved with online dating of some sort.
The best advice is not to take anyone at face value and to get to know them better before committing to a deeper level of relationship.
It’s also possible that you may want to jump in the sack with someone right away. Just be aware that they may be harder to get rid of then the stink of a rollover accident involving a honey wagon. (Look it up.)
Be social, have fun and stay alert.
The best days to play will be Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Taurus
April 20 to May 20
It’s possible that a friend of a friend is attempting to connect with you in order to set you up on a date with her brother’s second cousin, twice removed.
Confusing? I agree.
Whatever the situation, just be aware that there’s a strong chance of some sort of connection coming your way that may be surprising, in a good way. This isn’t the time to say no to being set up on a date.
You should have more than one chance to say yes. You may be surprised to find out that someone you know rather well has someone in mind for you. Here’s a hint, it could be an older woman who has a tendency to meddle in other people’s business.
Whatever the situation and however it manifests, don’t be shy when it comes to getting out and showing who you are.
There’s a good chance that you’ll meet someone through your career as well, so be aware.
The best days for fun and games will be Wednesday and the weekend.
Gemini
May 21 to June 20
If you’re looking for a stable, long-term relationship, well, choose another week.
At this time, you need to focus on friendships, and on developing them into more, but not allowing things to get out of hand.
This isn’t to say that a blossoming friendship can’t turn into a blooming romance. It may do so, almost of its own volition.
The key is not to get involved in something that becomes over-emotional too quickly. If you can’t repel those pesky daydreams about brushing rice off of your tuxedo or wedding gown, then don’t even think about it.
(Please don’t get upset about the rice allusion. I know it’s politically incorrect– makes birds explode or something. Replace it with birdseed, or bubbles if you like, or pudding for that matter. It’s an idiom.)
Once again, be willing to get to know someone better, even if they don’t seem like the type that you might normally be involved with. They could surprise you.
The best time to explore new relationships will be Monday, Tuesday Thursday and Sunday.
Cancer
June 21 to July 22
An aura of love and romance will surround you this week.
This disturbing fact could put you in harm’s way if you are completely unaware that you’re emitting emotional pheromones that’ll urge total strangers to want to play with you.
This can be a good thing unless you don’t happen to be aware that it’s happening.
Go ahead, try your newfound power, but use it only for good. Look someone directly in the eyes, smile at them and see how they react. Chances are you’ll find yourself on the receiving end of a warm, adoring smile.
This longing that will be put into the hearts of mere mortals could make for an very interesting week. Enjoy this energy while you can but realize that once the clock strikes midnight, well this is the week before Halloween so you may be able to put it all to good use.
Wednesday through the weekend are perfect days to let your love light shine.
Leo
July 23 to August 22
You need to change the way you do things when it comes to love and romance. Lookie here, we all need help from time to time so don’t go getting grumpy with me.
You may think that you’ve got a pretty successful technique of meeting people. Come now, would you really be reading this column if you did? (Well, I’d hope you’d read it anyway for the “entertainment” value. That’s what I’d tell people if I got caught reading it. You can thank me later.)
The point is is that the this is a wonderful time to change strategies. Mix it up a bit.
For you macho types, watch one of those so-called “Chick Flicks,” that teaches people how to have the most dysfunctional relationships possible in as short a time as can be tolerated.
(For those of you “he-men” types who have no idea what I’m talking about, look for any film starring anyone named: Jennifer, Reese, Kate, Ashley, Renee, Julia, Colin or Hugh. Avoid basing your romantic technique on movies with stars named: Vin, Arnold, Sylvester, Little Richard, Boris, or The Creeper.)
The whole point is not to do what you normally do and not to go to places that you normally frequent. This may mean changing your friends a little bit, or it may mean taking those friends to completely different place.
The key to success in this activity is to shift how you feel about yourself and your approach to romance in general.
By the way, the southwest side of town has specific energies brewing for a loving evening.
The best night to visit the foothills will be Thursday night, but the weekend follows a second close.
Virgo
August 23 to September 22
This could be your week to play!
As always, safety and common sense are always to be exercised when dealing with the bodily fluids of others. (It’s gross, but needs to be said.)
All warnings firmly in place, this is a good time to get out and have some fun. The Pre-Halloween festivities are beginning and people are getting weird.
This eccentricity in attitude can go your way, as long as you don’t try to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes. (Unless of course, they happen to be dressed as Little Bopeep.) You need to be completely honest about your intentions, personal beliefs and philosophies, unless, of course, you never get to those issues.
Be aware that you’ll have many opportunities to play if you put yourself into the real world. This means being extra cautious and probably taking a few friends along, at least for part of the evening.
Stick to the Denver metro area for best results.
The entire week should go your way when it comes to romance.
Libra
September 23 to October 22
This week could find you frolicking with someone older than you.
Allow your horror at this image to subside. Take a deep breath, let the nausea die down. OK, are you ready?
An energy that pushes you towards someone older could give you a good time. You may find yourself doing the foxtrot with someone whose teeth are barely held in place, or it may be someone who’s just a year, or a few months older than you.
Don’t let this daunting image get in the way of what could be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. (For me, the thought of a barrel of monkeys is the stuff that nightmares are made of, but I’ll save that for next week’s column.)
Nor should you use this energy to give you license to take advantage of those who’ll be horribly flattered by your attentions. The key is to have a good time and it just so happens that the energies are pushing it in this particular direction.
For those of you with serious Oedipal and Electra complexes, you might want to sit this one out.
By the way, you actually don’t know it all and might be quite surprised to find that someone older than you has something to offer. (OK, my own age is showing here, but it happens to be true.)
Just have fun and stop worrying about age!
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are good days to experience the slightly tamer side of life.
Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
It’s possible, and highly probable, that you’ll meet someone through your career who could become romantically important to you.
This person may be a brand new acquaintance or it may be someone you’ve met recently. Whatever the case, expect them to suddenly find themselves quite interested in you and you quite interested in them.
This energy doesn’t have to go anywhere at the current time, but I’m guessing you’ll both want it to. Obviously, you need to be absolutely certain that you don’t get yourself into an immense amount of trouble by overstepping the boundaries of your friendly, employment “Big Brother,” who’s definitely going to be watching you.
Keeping with the above advice, don’t be afraid to flirt a bit with coworkers. As long as it doesn’t get you slapped with a sexual harassment suit or prompt a visit to the Sensitivity Training Bureau of Re-educational Services, you should do fine. Use common sense.
By the way, make sure that a younger person you may be dallying with has a valid ID to prove their claim. If they don’t remember Devo Power Domes, you may want to think twice.
The only day that shouldn’t be toyed with is Tuesday.
Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
A secret rendezvous may be in your near future.
Yes, it’s quite possible that you’ll find yourself in the midst of some sort of illicit or covert activity, almost before you know it.
I’m warning you, this is a very real possibility and you need to be as aware as you can be.
Temptation will be strong and you could meet more than one person who tries to lure you into their incredibly soft, sweet smelling, completely enjoyable, sensuous and amazingly agreeable web. Sounds nice doesn’t it?
The fact is, it could be nice and you may find yourself desirous of becoming involved in this spur of the moment opportunity.
Don’t!
As sure as I’m sitting here writing this (and I can assure you, I’m sitting here writing this) it’ll turn out badly. People will find out, you’ll be discovered, your face plastered across the cover of several tabloid magazines or the subject of a Denver Post political cartoon.
All right, I may be exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea. It’ll be hard to keep a secret, so think twice before proceeding.
This incredibly depressing advice doesn’t have to be bad. Make the connections now without connecting on a more “physical” level. This is one of those times where you can claim to really want to get to know someone better before engaging in a tandem snorkeling lesson.
Monday, Friday and Saturday are the best days for safe, uncomplicated connections.
Capricorn
December 22 to January19
Hmmm, seems to be a theme this week — but here goes. The possibility of a physical relationship looms upon the near horizon.
If you’ve been waiting to take a relationship to the next level of intimacy, this week provides that opportunity. You’ll have to put yourself in a place to do so (notice I didn’t say position, and I certainly could have.) but by being open minded and willing to apply yourself, you should find the opportunity arises.
This is an excellent time to meet new people and to be as adventurous as you can be without wandering into the heady realm of recklessness. The north side of town will prove to be one of the best areas for amorous activities.
You could find yourself in strange territories before you know it, but that should actually be one of the best possible places for you to be. Meeting new people is important and being unpretentious is a must.
By the way, someone may try way too hard to prove that they’re the right person for you. Believe me when I say, they aren’t the right person for you. Walk don’t run to the nearest exit.
Monday and Saturday are your best days for fun and games.
Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
Caution is needed when it comes to the world of romance.
I know, I know. You think you’re absolutely prepared for anything that might come your way and that you know exactly how to deal with any situation that falls out of the sky.
Wrong.
This week you need to concentrate on what’s right for you and not what’s right for someone else. Although this advice may seem to border on incredible selfishness (and quite frankly, it does) it’s also necessary if you want to be happy. If you try to appease other people you’ll only end up by being abused.
As long as you know the rules of the game and there’s something in it for you, you could find yourself engaging in some wonderful activities.
More than one connection is possible, but the one that really matters will fall into place later in the week.
You’ll probably meet this person at a quieter, out-of-the-way sort of spot. If you don’t happen to know of any such places it might be worth your while to seek them out. Doing so with friends is advised, as the appearance of being comfortable and not being the lone wolf will make your position stronger.
Wednesday, Friday on the weekend are excellent days to meet new people for self-serving causes.
Pisces
February 19 to March 20
This could be a fun for week for you as long as you allow it to be.
Be aware that the energy surrounding you is encouraging you to let your hair down, unless of course you wear it down already, in which case let something else down in order to have some fun.
The social scene is perfect for you. Hanging out with all the cool cats and kittens will enable you to meet the types of people who’ll be anxious to join you in the sandbox. (I guess that really isn’t the best metaphor to use seeing as how cats use sandboxes… but you get the point.)
Talk yourself up and be willing to be on the flirtatious side. A cocky arrogance usually goes against the grain with most people, but this week it can be right in step with what you’ll be dealing with.
Of course, being boorish will only alienate you from people so you’ll need to know when not to cross the line.
You’ll probably meet someone Thursday or Sunday who’s able to match you in attitude, intelligence and play quotient. Latch onto them if you can.
This person may just be someone who could turn out to be a long-term partner as time goes on.
The entire Denver metro area is your stage.
