PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Comfort food comes in many different flavors, and Pisces finds solace in certain types of victuals. There’s a suggestion this week that some culinary treats have dual meanings — that is, the correct appetizer can both comfort the soul and have a loaded meaning.

Oysters come to mind, obviously loaded with innuendo, since they are supposedly aphrodisiacs. While actually sitting down to a repast of oysters might upset the delicate Pisces equilibrium, the image is the important thing. Consider your destination, and then pick a multi-course dinner menu that offers you what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Long hours at work don’t benefit your social life. However, the longer hours that you spend either at work or worried about work have one good effect. The decent Capricorn will discover a peculiar time for a social interchange. This strange twist in orderliness will lead to some rather sudden fun.

Mars is in an excellent position to aid you. Do something with this energy. Be prepared for an odd coupling at a strange time, something out of the ordinary. Most importantly, don’t expect it at any time when you would usually expect it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Did you go out and have too much of a good time? Are there still a few remaining bits and pieces that you need to straighten out? Perhaps you feel a bit prickly, a bit itchy under the collar. While climatic conditions might vary, the downhill slide after a Full Moon leaves you feeling a bit tepid.

Like tepid bath water, this has its uses however. You can slide right on into a tub of warm water and enjoy it for what it is. Steamy hot doesn’t work so well right now. But there is something that hasn’t cooled off yet — and that’s nearly as much fun.

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Everyone else feels a little down after the effect of the Full Moon has worn off. For some strange reason, this doesn’t affect the sign of the scales to any great degree. Perhaps it’s that inbred sense of balance, that innate ability to seek the middle ground — or maybe it’s something else.

Share your good fortune and attitude with one person in particular (you know who it is) and be nice. Be extra nice. There’s an added bonus as you share this sweet niceness. It looks not just nice, but like positively wicked good fun.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Scorpio has a reputation for secretiveness, to the point that some Scorpios refuse to read their horoscopes. At least, they often fail to acknowledge that they seek advice from something as mundane as astrology.

However, a little astrological advice is useful now, as the waning aspects of the Full Moon and Mars send a clear message: Tell that one person about your desires. Tell everything. The more you reveal, the more you show. The more you bare, the better it will get. Tell that special someone what you want most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The sign of the archer enjoys a reputation as a freeform sort of personality, but a little structure and a few rules — maybe we’ll just call them guidelines — are a good idea at present. During the waning phase of the Full Moon, a touch of order helps bring out the best in you.

When you agree to follow a few guidelines, you’ll find that your lover — or would-be lover — is willing to make special arrangements and bend his or her own rules, just to be with you. First, however, comes the structure. Get out the date book and figure out when you’re both available. Then prepare to enjoy yourself, because following rules means that you get to break some, too.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There’s no Leo Full Moon fallout; the party never ends. Attitude is important. Maintaining a good Leo attitude has everything to do with getting exactly what you want from your lover. Don’t be shy or quiet. Keep your spirits up and carry this energy forward into the week.

What will happen is this: A similar spirit will infect your lover, and then the fun really starts. Use your infectious good spirits to cheer up the people around you. Step up to center stage and let your presence radiate. The better the attitude, the more you get your way.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Tired of the Full Moon’s activities? Surely, that’s not you! Venus still makes merry in your sign. This should bring a degree of lazy entertainment to amuse you. For you, the fallout from the Full Moon is just a small amount of cleaning up that requires your attention. Teamwork can make this sort of cleaning up go much easier.

Rather than tackling it alone, locate a likely candidate to help. Ostensibly, you want someone to help move furniture and things, but there’s more to the equation — much more. Once the couch is back in place (or maybe even while it’s out of place) a little relaxing massage can lead to rather pleasant diversions. Yes, with the right person, even cleaning up can be fun.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun 21)

Some fantasies are light and airy, filled with butterflies and the smell of roses. Other images take a decidedly dark and twisted form, one that’s a little different: perhaps restraints, maybe the smell of leather, or possibly even the clink of a pair of handcuffs.

But who has the key? Ah, that’s the question! Gemini owns that right now. Give wing to some of those Gemini flights of imagination, and see what pops up. These seemingly sordid ideas might just find a willing player.

CANCER (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

Did you ever look at a very attractive person passing you on the street, and wonder what it would be like if you looked that good? Instead of wondering about your personal shortcomings, real or perceived, trust that the Moon is in an ideal position to make the most of what you have.

Use your assets to the best of your ability. This is not about coveting things or qualities that you don’t have. This is about putting the qualities that you have to work in the best possible light. Let your inherent sense of taste and style display you in the best light. When you do so, you catch the eye of that one special person — so be yourself!
