guide to the stars WEEK OF August 7-13

Print

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The fabulous birthday Leo would like to sink his claws into the lowly hunter that took down your kindred spirit, Cecil, and put a damper on your birthday season. Imagine you’re Cecil and armed with a 500 Nitro Express Holland & Holland … Wait, Madame G doesn’t condone the use of violence to deal with stupid humans. He’s being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion – the ultimate payback.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If you’re wondering whether the glowing blue moon has turned your neighbors into bizarre creatures the answer is yes. Each one of them seems off kilter, carrying on in a strange fashion, such as mowing the lawn at 3 am. You wonder if they are actual aliens or werewolves. The moon has an effect on the tides, so it impacts the human body made up of mostly water. Just be yourself and stick to coffee or tea and ignore the neighbor tinkering with his car at 4 am.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Libra couldn’t feel happier these days. You desire to take road trips lately and that’s okay, live a little. The messy house can wait, enjoy the warm and balmy weather, a rare treat in Gallup thanks to this thing called “El Nino.” That little situation, misunderstanding with a friend should pass this week. Don’t force a resolution just to balance your scales. Let the other person speak first or not at all.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Did you party like it was 1999 this past weekend? Or, over indulged on some level? It was tough for you to keep impulses in check during the blue moon. Scorpio, don’t let it all hang out just to have some fun. Have some good judgement and stay in for one night and refrain from overindulging with fountain drinks, coffee or energy drinks. Be mellow for a change.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Does driving on I-40 lately annoy you? You’re not alone, but feel alone on trucker highway. To escape from Gallup, it’s usually essential to traverse this highway. You can gripe or get your roadmap out and explore the treasures along Historic Route 66. Take that selfie with that dinosaur, wigwam, inside the El Rancho Hotel, McGaffey or the faraway meteor crater.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Meticulous Capricorn loves to dance these days, but you automatically break into the robot, clumsily popping those creaky joints, trying to look cool dancing to the summer hit “Can’t Feel My Face.” It’s okay to flaunt your moves because you are usually more uptight than a mouse trapped in a roach motel. Admit it, you’re smart. Smart and cool does blend on occasion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarius how I love your balance of logic and emotion, very deep, very powerful. But, you have been a little preoccupied by a love interest. If you’re in a relationship, you’re feeling oh so lovey dovey. This is a positive thing, but can also be a diversion, a detour from deeper issues. Relax, it’s nothing that you can’t handle if you focus on it and think solutions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Blue moon and blue waters have you feeling like a million and one bucks Pisces. Run with it as you are usually the beguiled fish, torn by trying to swim in two different directions. Well, G is here to tell you that you can do it this month. Look at your Zodiac sign, there are two fishes. Make the opposing forces work for you. Work hard, but take time to jot down some rhymes in your blank leather journal with the archaic cover and lock. Relax and let your creative mind flow.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Lately you have suffered from the boomerang effect. It’s both good and bad. All those favors you did for your family this past winter have blessed you with money and gifts 10-fold. However, any situation or people you have forgotten to acknowledge or nurture have come back and delivered a slight sting. Be the Benadryl that removes that sting: apologize, buy them lunch, give a hug.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re the type to grow bored on the weekend, especially Sunday. There’s this fabulous car show at Camille’s. You will enjoy it even if hot rods are not your thing. Also, you long for after-work connections during the week. And being smart, you’ll enjoy Gallup Solar meetings, a good way to meet new people in town and to learn something new. Don’t mope, be adventurous.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

I used to think parents are the blame for our adult insecurities, but it’s more than likely our childhood peers that teased us to the point of discomfort. Now those bullies are all grown up and have neatly tucked their cruel little ways into the tapestry of their past, finding some justification and moving on. No matter what happened Gemini, when you run into this person, show him or her that you have moved on. Smile and shake hands.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Moon and sun do this dance each day that keeps this earth balanced. But when the planets pull closer, like how Mars likes to get ultra close to earth from time to time, Cancer really feels the pinch and tends to either excel or deflate. Make the choice to excel, but keep those pinchers out for any pushy huggers that you would rather not hug. Back off Aunt Edna or Uncle Lester!
