Madame G guide to the stars Week of DECemBER 9

Print

Paraskevidekatriaphobia! Say that three times fast… It’s fear of the number 13. Did you know scientists believe fear actually creates self-fulfilling prophecies and accidents? Madame G recommends taking fate into your own hands create your own luck. Happy Friday 13th!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re soaring to new heights and accomplishing more than expected. The restless fire of the Aries soul only cools to simmer. Consider focusing your drive in a positive direction. Make your passions work for you (not against you). You’re not afraid of a little thing like superstition. Get out there and make it happen.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You dance to the beat of your own drum. It may surprise you to learn that this may upset some people, including family. Compromise is not an evil word. It’s merely the acknowledgement that other people have feelings. Madame G suggests taking time to read quietly in the sun and smile. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a fun day for you. Madame G suggests treating Friday the 13th like any other day. You’ve nothing to fear, but fear itself. As a person of good sense and sound judgment, you make your own luck and won’t fall victim to superstition. But, you won’t test your luck either: no flying or stepping on cracks today. Have fun on Freaky Friday.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Sit down and have a cup of chamomile tea today. It’s a good idea to relax. This too shall pass. You’ve got support from the universe to walk away from draining job responsibilities, a toxic friendship or self-limiting beliefs. Or if you’re not ready to bail, at least speak up and put an end to a difficult dynamic. Sadly, being nice doesn’t work with everyone, so you’ll need to put your foot down. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’ve got some excellent projects in the works. Life is good, enjoy it! When it comes to your future, you need to put yourself first. This doesn’t mean doing everything all alone. Under the influence of this community-spirited full moon, you can pool your resources with some aligned souls.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re too pragmatic to be superstitious, but you might just be so pragmatic that you don’t discount anything. So go ahead and buy that crystal necklace and burn some smudge sticks. It’s okay to be cautious just stay within budget. Show up smiling at those holiday parties and let them bring good things to you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Although you may wish to avoid making very important decisions such as changing jobs or buying a car this week, that doesn’t mean you can’t buy a new bag or wallet. Am I right? Live it up! Life is too short not to enjoy spending your hard-earned money.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Though your emotions never quite reach the surface, the ripples above water show the trouble stewing below. Is it a crocodile or gas? Oh dear! It’s a Scorpio. Some people will never know, and they’ll be glad for it. Most wouldn’t want to find out. You create your own luck. Live on!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You may have resentment toward a friend. Their life appears perfect on the outside. This angers your independent spirit that hates resentment or anything resembling conformity. Everyone has moments of self-doubt. It’s just a bad mood. Remember that when looking at someone’s life from the outside, you usually just see the surface. You rarely see the real struggles from within.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It’s fun to consider new ideas. But, you hesitate to act. You hoard ideas and own them before you act. Often by the time you do it’s very old news. If you have a favorite phrase it might sound like: “no one ever helped me.” But, no one ever will. You must help yourself by taking what you learn and taking action. Sometimes it’s better to act than do nothing at all. Fortune favors the bold!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Life is often full of surprises. Do yourself a favor and live a little. It’s up to you to enjoy your life and have fun. Take a job in a new city, start a business, or take a drive. If you don’t live now, then you never will. It’s not enough to say, “I’ll do it tomorrow” or next week or next year. The time is now. 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your life may resemble a telenovela right now. If it’s not one family member it’s another. If you don’t have an evil twin coming out of hiding or your former fiancé coming out of a coma to meet your husband of 20 years and 10 children, then it’s something else. Consider that you may start as much drama as you sense around you. Look for the common factor. If it’s you, then do your best to recreate the story or enjoy the telenovela. They’re hilarious.
