Blogoscopes, February 26th to March 5th 2007

Aries - Every Aries loves a good 'thrill ride'. Defying the limits of the everyday world. Zero gravity at breathtaking speeds. This week, reacquaint yourself with the old fashioned Ferris wheel; just going around in slow circles with someone you trust not to rock the car too much; your friends on the ground waving as you go by. And when you get to the top, you can see everything so clearly.

Taurus - Do you remember the joy of being a kid who was learning to play one parent off against the other? While they're arguing over whether or not you're grounded, you are helping yourself to whatever got you in trouble in the first place. Okay you may not have experienced it but you've seen it on TV. This week when you feel the urge to steal the cookie jar or borrow the car, just do it. Everything will be back where it belongs before anyone notices.

Gemini - "Get down get deeper and down, get down get deeper and down", typical of the sage and too often ignored words of wisdom from those celebrated philosophers, the Spice Girls. Proving once again that you can be adorable and still be meaningful. This week, while everyone seems to be neglecting you, you and your twin spend quality time staring into one each other's eyes, meditating on the sustaining qualities of cotton candy.

Cancer - Needs must where the devil drives, and let's face it, where you're concerned, he took the wheel a while back. Have you noticed that he has apparently been chauffeuring you around the same block all this time. Typical man - lost and won't admit it let alone ask for directions. Meanwhile you've been mesmerized into believing that what he's showing you is actual scenery. You've seen all he has to offer. Get out of the car at the next corner.

Leo - Thanks for being you, Leo. Thanks for your warmth, charm and generosity of spirit; for your grace and beauty, your wisdom and honesty; and for giving me an excuse to use the phrase 'giant clown shoes' in a blogoscope. With all of your regal perfection, you have this one tiny flaw - an Achilles heel if you will - you sometimes forget how to laugh at yourself. Wearing canoes on your feet could be the needed touch of wabi sabi that highlights your fabulous-ness.

Virgo - You can't really remember any recent head trauma, but for some reason you are beginning to manifest a condition closely approximating a fugue state. Ask someone you trust to start putting your name and phone number on all your stuff (and your underwear) just in case. In a short while you'll wake up to discover that you've finger painted all over the walls. Don't even try clean it up until you've read it.

Libra - It looks as though you need some serious me-time. Hey, me-time is not supposed to be serious. Did you know studies have proved that the best ideas come to you when you're playing and that laughter attracts money? Just studies, that's all, why does it matter what studies? All right, yes they were my studies but they were in-depth studies. Have I ever steered you wrong before? Okay, okay, maybe once or twice, but you had fun right?

Scorpio - There is always something about a Scorpio that screams pirate! Whatever your appearance, whatever your demeanor; even if your exterior is bland, beige and boring, your interior is rude, lewd and tattooed. This is a good week for swashing some buckle, so grab a sword and start swinging through the rigging. If the sword you grab is not your own be sure to ask permission first. Ditto for the rigging.

Sagittarius - Remember the days when you would get detention and have to stay in at recess or after school. Remember the anger, indignation and disgust you felt at the obvious injustice being done not just to you but to your spirit, to the spirit of humanity and to the greater truth? Well you're not seven and this is not detention. Stay in and get things done or go play and forget all about your goals and aspirations. Either way stop sulking about it.

Capricorn - There are those who believe you're asleep at the wheel. Others believe you're on auto-pilot. I believe you are listening for the reassuring voice of Obi Wan Kenobi to guide you in your efforts to use the force. Oh foolish one! A good Jedi knows that the force does not require effort and it's not about trying. The force is about faith. Have faith in yourself. Now wake up and steer this thing!

Aquarius - This week in our ongoing space saga, the crew is pitted against an evil as old as time itself. Powers are stretched and tempers frayed during the scramble to discover a way to defeat this ancient enemy. Suddenly, the monkey points out that what they thought was their opponent is actually a giant mirror. Spiritual revelations and personal catharsis for everybody: laughs and hugs all around. To be continued...

Pisces - The roof may not be the best place to sit during an electrical storm, but it certainly gives you the best view of the lightening. The fact that your house is made out of rubber and is also surrounded by airbags up to the eaves slightly lessens the chance of experiencing any actual danger. Still, for someone who likes their reality to be more on the virtual side, you're being very brave.
