Madame G guide to the stars WEEK OF JAN. 27

E-mail Print PDF

Love him or hate him, Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States. In the midst of his inauguration, women and men came together in peaceful (for the most part) protest. Both events mark an historic moment in time. On Jan. 27, a New Moon emerges. Now is the time to come together and usher in new beginnings. Madame G salutes you!

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re headed in a new direction. How exciting! Bring your friends close and surround yourself with hope, companionship, and support. Only you can decide where this journey will lead. It’s up to you to determine what your “musts” are and what aren’t. You may even experience an Awakening, as in Kate Chopin’s novel. Give it all up for love—of yourself. Take care!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

When in doubt, call on your friends, especially your best friend. If you haven’t given your old BFF a call, ring her up. There’s no time like the present. Enjoy a good read about female friendship in Elizabeth Wein’s novel: Code Name, Verity. This compelling WWII spy thriller will pop you out of your seat and down the street to see your friends. All you need is love!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Feeling a bit confused? Maybe you’re unsure of where your life is headed much less the country. Perhaps you’re doing just fine. Whatever the case, if you’re ready for a zany and strange adventure take some time to read, or re-read, the Female Man by Joanna Russ. This trippy little book is designed to make you think and laugh. Pass it along to a friend. Enjoy!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If you’re in the mood for nonfiction, read Sophia Amuroso’s work, #Girlboss. Amuroso’s the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal. You may find this to be the swift kick of motivation and inspiration you need. Don’t just sit around waiting for the world to happen to you. Get up! Get your walking shoes on, be they heels or tennis, and get out there. Kick ass!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

If you have moments of regret or sentimentality, don’t worry that’s normal. It’s important to look back on the past and feel warm and fuzzy feelings. Remember, the important part was in the living it. You may not have noticed every moment, but you were there and that is enough. So, sit back and enjoy a hot tea and Louisa May Alcott’s novel, Little Women. Enjoy!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

So, what’s your poison? Maybe you’ve taken to drink, smoke, or a combination. Perhaps you’re a coach potato or a habitual complainer. Whatever the case, remember you still have freedom. Imagine what would happen, if it was all taken away. In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, The Handmaids Tale, the future is bleak. Take what you can and run. Be grateful!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Do you have a sister (or someone like a sister)? Give her a call and let her know you’ve got her back. Together, read and enjoy Jane Austen’s novel Sense and Sensibility. It follows two sisters navigating their life in a restricted society. The sisterly theme is overshadowed by romance, but you’ll cheer them on as they fight with, and for, each other. Reach out and help today!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Are you ready for disruption? Maybe you’re tired of all the old ways of thinking or more specifically—you’re ready for change. Consider reading Virginia Wolf’s novel Orlando. This story follows a gender bending man turned woman who flips perspective on its head. Madame G recommends wearing what you want. Don’t hide—be you! You’ve got this!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You may feel restless, especially if you’re headed in the wrong direction. Life rarely changes unless we do. You’re the director of this play. You don’t have control, but you have choice. When you want to sit back and complain, consider that you’re not the first to suffer. Pick up Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple. Even if you’re re-reading, you’ll appreciate the story.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Are you ready for some powerful energy? Well, you’ve got it. No one can give, or take, away anything unless you allow it. You’re enough, as you are. You’ve had this power all along. Be bold! Be brave. Read Aristphones’ play: Lysistrata. Sappho boldly takes on antiquity and the roles of women. If she can you can! Imagine pulling from all the great women and thrive!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Nostalgia hits like a Mac Truck, at times. It’s hard to let go, especially if the future looks less bright than the past. If you need a little time this weekend, sit down with Eudora Welty’s novel, The Optimists Daughter. This is a touching example of looking at your past, letting go, and moving on. Thank your past and those in it, so that you may move forward boldly. Live well!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Sometimes you just need to get away into a lovely fantasy world. You may want to head into the Arthurian legend with Marion Zimmer’s novel, The Mists of Avalon. This is a retelling of the supposedly evil witch Morigan. Take a stroll through nature while you’re at it and take the dogs. You’ll enjoy walking and relaxing. You’ll then access feminine power. Do it!
