Blogoscopes March 12th to 19th, 2007

Aries - This week you have the power to leap over tall obstacles with ease. Your super hero role model is Babe Didrikson. This three time Olympic track and field medalist excelled in every sport she ever played and once set five world records in an afternoon. I once had five martinis in an afternoon. In honour of her status as America's first female golf 'celebrity', I'm going to suggest that perhaps your super costume should be something in argyle.

Taurus - Mythic Endurance is the theme of every great warrior's quest. Your super power is your ability to continue to walk your path while everyone around is waving red flags. Ignore them. They're like those tourists who try to get the Queen's Guard to crack. If I were a Queen's Guard I'd probably shoot one of them. That's why your super hero costume has to have bearskin hat (fake fur of course). It will stand as a symbol of that solidarity with others that your life currently seems to lack.

Gemini - You were born with the ability to shape shift. Like your ruler Mercury's elemental name sake you are quicksilver - constantly changing in unpredictable ways, and impossible to hold on to. When others attempt to smear you by questioning your motives or impugning your integrity you must remember that they are only staring at their own reflections in your shiny surface. With her Gauthier bustier and Teflon attitude, Madonna is the obvious choice for you to emulate.

Cancer - You have an amazing ability to make yourself invisible when ever you like. You're physically present, but no one can see you. Sadly, you may have difficulty re-appearing. Then people will get so used to not seeing you, that if you do manage to show up they'll call it a come back and accuse you of being a sell-out. Being super in a white sequined jumpsuit will remind you that people still talk about Elvis as though he were dead. Be warned.

Leo - We all know that you have limitless powers in a number of different categories, but I would like to focus on your super ability to communicate through mime. Your icon is, of course, Marcel Marceau, who called silence an art. Words cannot clearly communicate your ideas and in fact words are mere links in the chain that keeps you shackled in a lesser being's reality. You don't need words. Use your body to make others see more clearly that, yes, you are trapped in a box.


Virgo - People tend to forget that your ruler is Mercury. He's much more easily associated with flashy Gemini. I think that your true connection to this god is in his Greek counterpart, Hermes, who acted as a psychopomp escorting the dead to Hades. You can imagine how well he had to recognize boundaries to survive in that line of work. Your super suit is a winged helmet and a t-shirt that reads "get your hands off of that it's mine". Oh, and a great scarf!


Libra - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen aside, was Dr. Jekyll really a hero or an arrogant s.o.b.? You have a super-powered discernment that allows you to identify evil wherever it lurks, but maybe you should dial it back a bit eh? A philosophical discourse on pure good and evil sounds fascinating, but try wearing a top hat and monster mask and just acknowledge ambiguity. Mr. Hyde throws the kind of wobblies that could do serious damage to your psyche.


Scorpio - You are as unstoppable as you astrological opposite Taurus, with greater speed and less sort of long term idea about exactly where it is that you're going. Where ever it is you'll get there, guaranteed. In the world of Marvel Comics, Turbo is a super hero who was actually two people - one woman, one man - sharing a turbo powered suit of armour. With the energy of two people you hardly need a jet propelled back pack, but wear it just to remind yourself that you are human.


Sagittarius - I'm going to call your super hero "Genuine Ginsu" as a salute to your ability to instantly cut through layers of crap and expose the true heart of any person or situation. Sure we all remember the ninja in the chef's hat who first brought the incredible Ginsu offer to TV, but how many of us remember the bonus tool that could make beautiful flowers out of fruits and vegetables? Maybe you should use your power to create something beautiful instead of just cutting shit up.


Capricorn - Your heroic paradigm lives on the airwaves of GMA TV in the Philippines. In real life, the "Super Twins" had been feuding, until one of them recently announced that she is pregnant with the governor's child. Wait did I say 'real world'? My point is that there are dark forces at work all around you and you cannot be divided against yourself if you want to be effective. I think the problem is that a part of you is falling for the evil genius. You can ignore the pregnant part if you want.


Aquarius - I hope you learned your lesson about messing with the weather. Global warming is every body's responsibility. Go play with your x-ray vision. You need the practice. It's a depth perception issue. You just want to see through people's clothes, only to continually find your self ogling their digestive tracks. You need to gain control before you find yourself looking right through people. Which will inevitably lead to walking into people. Your uniform must include a clown nose.

Pisces - At an early age you honed your telekinetic ability in an effort to avoid eating strained peas. Now there's not a spoon in the world that is safe from your power. Basically your inner child's fear of green food is making it difficult for the rest of us to eat soup, and more importantly, ice cream. Bend you mind and accept that there is no spoon. Wear black PVC and aviator shades. Be very mysterious. Leave the cutlery alone.
