Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Humans are Johnny-come-latelies Capricorn—You’ve been rid-
ing the fence for the past couple of weeks regarding a personal or professional issue. Even if the problem is relatively manageable, you’re having difficulty making a decision. Instead of waiting for the wind to blow a certain direction, gather evidence for all sides from a variety of perspectives, but most importantly consider the people involved. Don’t force a solution, but be proactive. Aquarius—If whatever it is you have in store for yourself seems too overwhelming of an undertaking, use this week to chop it up into bits. Start with the easiest end, or most difficult, to get it out of the way. You’ll quickly learn the biggest barrier is in your mind and the sooner you dive in, the sooner you are on your way to completion. Save the big takeoff for after the new moon on Thursday, though. Pisces—Some major upsets in your home life or routine in the past month are proving to be difficult ones to accommodate. Truly, you should see to it that you’re being accommodated. If you’ve done all you can to make the best of a situation and life continues to kick you, it’s time to reclaim sanity. Ask for what you need and the solutions will arise, just don’t be afraid to be a taker rather than giver. Aries—What you desire most has yet to reveal itself, but because you know there’s something you seek, you’ve wasted a lot of time and money on anything you think might do the trick. You’re a sharp mind; it hasn’t taken long to show itself as a fruitless search. Although it’s counterintuitive, sit tight and enjoy just being for a while. You always find the thing when you stop looking for it. Taurus—The last couple of weeks have more than adequately given you the circum-
stances necessary to indulge your pleasure-seeking side. While your mind was elsewhere, the work has certainly piled up and will keep you from utilizing your renewed vitality. Of course there are grander things to attend to, and you’ll want to take advantage of those doors opening as well. Just be sure to take care of business along the way. Gemini—Whenever the social scene turns sour or some wellintentioned remark is taken the wrong way, just keep in mind that this is likely to be the case for the next couple of weeks, due to Mercury’s retrograde motion. Where communication is concerned, there are plenty of lines crossing and it’s nearly impossible to figure out what’s really going on. Use this time to exercise patience, and in the meantime set to a creative task. Cancer—You may not have a hair left on your head by the time the week is over, considering the stressful circumstances at hand. Remember that your attitude will have a lot to do with whether or not you handle the situation successfully and that what seems like the best course of action may need more thought. Friends will be helpful at this time, if you let them at least hear you out. Relax, and trust that things will work out. Leo—Things are not always as they seem, and though this may work to your advantage in situations that call for a positive attitude, you’ll have to be doubly vigilant when attention to detail is beneficial. Avoid any financial decisions, especially potential purchases that leave you feeling giddy when you imagine life after you buy whatever it is. You know what the right thing to do is, so be sure to keep an
open ear to that voice. Virgo—Your artistic side is shining brightly these days, so put it to good use whenever possible. This surge in creative energy can be especially useful around the house, from redecorating and arranging furniture to tackling long-standing problem areas with a fresh perspective. If you’re toying with different ways of making extra cash, starting an enterprise is highly advisable after Thursday. Libra—From most angles, your life is going in exactly the direction it should be. However, your current perspective, which is more introspective and concerned with domestic affairs, is more of a shadowy influence, especially when you think about the future. Stay with the people who make your laugh, keep your spirits up and avoid overindulgence, especially in your lazy side. You’ll see the bigger picture soon. Scorpio—Has life gone from sunny to topsy-turvy in approximately no time at all? Thought so. You can be sure your emotions will get the best of you, though fortunately not always at the wrong moment. Anything that’s been bothering you will certainly come into the open by next week, so be prepared to take time off or otherwise pamper yourself. Down the road you’ll see this was all for the best. Sagittarius—Time to get in touch with your intuition, or you could spend the next year making decisions without knowing exactly what you’re getting into. You’re the kind of person who likes to look at the big picture, but you’ll need to understand the details for the last part of the year. Instead of ferreting out the relevant information, get a feel for what’s out there. At the very least, it’ll be an interesting journey in personal discovery.
