Star Gazing

May 29 - June 4, 2002

Aries
Operate on a budget this week — and in all other aspects your life, practice frugality. Avoid giving in too easily to temptations and the quick fix. Most real fixes take time and effort and the ones that promise otherwise are ill-conceived and will get you nowhere.

Taurus
Your generosity will finally pay off when the universe realizes how truly great you are. Some mistake has been made, some mishap has transpired so that the universe has you mistaken with someone else, someone with a bad record. But, rest assured, steps have been taken and the universe will get it straight else risk being overshadowed by a more famous deity.

Gemini
Your busy week has inadvertently shone a light at the end of the tunnel. Could it be that freedom is just a freckle past a hair away? Fear not what stands in your way. There is only hope and though it be the thing with feathers, this time it’s not flying away.

Cancer
A baby step toward that which you have kept at bay may help you deal with the more stressful issues that come to pass in your life. You miss those who have gone, you wish things would change faster. In truth, your fixes will come and go — but your solutions will last.

Leo
A brief respite then back to the grind. Your spirits have been lifted and this time it seems as if maybe there is something better waiting on down the line. Buck up and face the challenge. When your brain spits something back at you that beats you down, imagine you’re rewiring it for the opposite effect.

Virgo
A phone call out of the blue puts you in an awkward position. You’ve been busy, it’s true, but you’re starting to feel like this person just doesn’t care anymore. What more can you do that you haven’t done already? Here’s what: comfort yourself with reruns of “Trading Spaces.”

Libra
The same stupid problem keeps happening over and over again. It’s becoming a joke among your friends. You want something you can’t have, yet you’re unable to accept this reality. Keep on pushing and sooner or later that rubber tree plant is going to decide it’s more exhausting shaking you off than simply letting go.

Scorpio
Oh, the stories you’ll tell when the conflicts and resolutions have long since worked themselves out. Seize the moment and watch how you’ll rise to the occasion. It isn’t so easy always being the most entertaining person in the room, is it?

Sagittarius
By all accounts, this has been a rotten year. When you reach out, you do so with sincerity — when you withdraw you do so with reason. Don’t be afraid of what’s waiting around the corner — it’s change, all right, but in a good way.

Capricorn
Be patient with your life — this is a very important moment to take a step back and think. Most people only have hindsight, which is often colored with regret. You have only the future laid out in front of you and a great opportunity ahead. See it as the positive thing it is.

Aquarius
We’ve only just begun. Your plans have been worked out and it’s only a matter of time before they come to fruition. Count your blessings and work toward a more solid standing ground. Once you can stand up, no one can knock you down.

Pisces
You’re moving toward bigger and better things. Once you work out the details you’ll find you’re a lot more capable than you previously thought. It hasn’t been an easy road but at least an end is in sight. You will win a very profitable prize in the coming months.
