Madame G guide to the stars WEEK OF OCT. 21 - 27

E-mail Print PDF

Last week, the media was overrun with the arrival of a super moon. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, “It’s an illusion.” If you close one eye and look through one end of a toilet paper tube — you’ll see the moon, once again, in perspective. This week, Madame G suggests you look at events in your life with a fresh perspective. Don’t make super moons out of paper plates.

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re moody. Maybe you miss home, a real one, or an imaginary one. Take a moment to step back and reflect. Where are you going? “Not all who wander are lost,” J.R.R. Tolkien said. But those who wander aimlessly, uselessly, and thoughtlessly will neither benefit from a well-laid plan or the freedom of a carefree existence. What’s your purpose, and more importantly, why?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

What’s your problem? Really? You may feel a niggling sense of anxiety. Did you lose your keys? Maybe you left the gas burner on in the kitchen. Maybe you didn’t. At times, our instincts are correct and we did leave a household appliance on, and sometimes, not. Tony Robbins said: “Most people fail because they major in minor things.” Step back and re-evaluate your problems.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Life is for the making. This week, go bold or go home. You may need to take a few actionable steps to get where you want to go. It’s not always a good thing to walk out the door of a dead-end job, but sometimes it’s the best thing for you. But only you can make that decision. Before you make any life-altering decisions, stop! Think. Breathe. And ask yourself what you want. Listen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Rock-bottom isn’t the end. J.K. Rowling said, “rock bottom became the solid foundation in which she built her life.” You don’t have to become a billionaire rock-star novelist to have a better life. What will you do? What won’t you do? You’re more than you think or imagine, and you’re doing fine. Take a moment to revel in small victories. You’ve got this!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If only relationships could be as easily restored as an old couch. We could just slap on a new pair of legs, paint, and upholstery, and you’ve got a brand new couch. Who knew? But human beings are a little more complicated. Maybe if you put a little time and TLC into a battered relationship, you could fix it up to be something unique and beautiful. And it’s all yours.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Loss is never easy. It’s harder to get through than we realize. That’s because we hate facing our own mortality. Life is still beautiful. It’s okay if a few of your big dreams didn’t work out. Maybe you’re better off than you thought. Maybe life is better than you dreamed. Enjoy the simple things: canning goods, cooking, and showing love. It’s okay to be happy!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Do you need a slap in the face? Maybe you’re seeing double and need to relax. Whatever the case, you might be smiling like a fool and maybe you’re playing the fool. But it looks good on you, so enjoy the good joke. Life isn’t about how miserable and busy you can be until the end. Take a moment to smell the leaves and enjoy the smoke. Winter is coming…

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You need an action plan and maybe an exit strategy. Whatever the case, you’re the quiet type. No one will know you’re gone until they feel the breeze from the window or the loud thumping of the door. Exit slowly. Take extra pride in the details. But don’t let your need to be liked interfere with your success either. Sometimes you must make a stand for yourself. You’re worth it!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don’t look so sad. Just kidding — you can look as sad as you like. You don’t have to be rude, but if someone tells you to smile when you’re sad — don’t, if you don’t feel like it. You’re nobody’s rainbow (unless that’s what you want). Take a breath and walk away. Don’t give the situation any more time than it’s worth. You may feel as you like.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Are you exploding with anger? Maybe that’s just your everyday face. Whatever the case, you don’t have the right to kill anyone. Learn to harness your passion into productive moments. Instead of yelling at your co-workers, go for a run. Take a friend out to lunch and listen to her tell you about her life — don’t complain about yours. Write down three things you’re grateful for each day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Life is a pain in the ass, but it’s better than the alternative. What would you like to accomplish? Just because you haven’t invented the next best thing doesn’t mean you won’t — doesn’t mean you will. So why are you doing it? For the love of it, of course. So if you don’t love it, why do it? Stop and ask yourself whether you’re doing things for the right reasons. Buck your own status quo.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Does everyone seem a bit off? Maybe a friend looks like they’re putting up a few walls. Maybe you’re imagining the whole thing. Don’t look to others to make it right for you. Take action and put up a few boundaries of your own. Don’t create a story that’s totally crazy. Look at the situation as it is, but don’t make it worse than it is either. You’ll be fine.
