A2 Astrology
by Emily Baker

ARIES March 21 - April 19
Long hours at work will leave you tired and irritable. Don’t be surprised if nobody makes plans with you, they’re just trying to avoid any silly arguments that may occur due to your attitude. Decide what your priorities are; you have the choice to either get paid or have fun.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20
Don’t feel as if you need to choose a side if friends don’t get along. Avoid getting involved in any conflicts that arise between your buddies. If you feel pressure from a friend to pick a side, ignore it—you don’t want to lose either one of your companions.

GEMINI May 21 - June 21
If mom’s cranberry dressing is all you’re looking forward to on Thanksgiving, maybe you should use the time off for that vacation you’ve been planning. If you fly out of town around the time the first football is tossed you could be relaxing on the beach by turkey time.

CANCER June 22 - July 22
Work is a good place for flirtation, but it is a bad place for romance. Try to avoid getting involved in a relationship with a coworker. When you date someone you work with you never get any time for yourself; at home and on the job, your partner will be there breathing down your neck, making sure you don’t have a chance to mess up. In addition, when the relationship is over you could end up losing your job.

LEO July 23 - August 22
Financially you are in a great deal of trouble. You should have realized how large your debt was when you were shuffling through your deck of maxed-out credit cards at the store the other day. Switching balances from card to card won’t work for very much longer. You need to think of an ingenious way to make money fast.

VIRGO August 23 - September 22
Screw the low-carb diet. If we were intended to eat only meat and vegetables then Dr. Atkins wouldn’t be dead. Dine upon any savory meal that is to your fancy. Make sure this Thanksgiving that you get an extra helping of stuffing and mashed potatoes. Don’t forget the pumpkin pie, it’s delicious too.

LIBRA September 23 - October 23
‘Tis the season when everything starts to get a bit more hectic than it is the rest of the year. You need to plan an escape route from the holiday madness far enough in advance so that you don’t get trapped in a jungle of tacky dime store decorations. Over-exhaustion is likely, but can be avoided.

SCORPIO October 24 - November 21
There are some things people don’t want to know about. Although everyone loves to hear a good story, from now on leave out the filthy details. If your friends wanted to know about the big boil you have on your nether region, I’m sure they’d line up outside of your bathroom door to watch you pop it, but if they don’t show up, refrain from telling them how it bursts.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 21Whenever you feel alone, remember that you are wanted and loved by many. Although you are far away from the ones you love, they haven’t forgotten about you, actually they think about you everyday. Your friends and family wish you would stay in better touch with them and would like it very much if once in a while you would give them a call to say “hello.”

CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19
You don’t need to buy organic, grain-fed fowl from fancy grocers to have a good Thanksgiving. You could shoot pigeons from your front porch with a pellet gun and salvage veggies from restaurant dumpsters. Don’t hate on Jiffy Mix; it’s made in Chelsea.

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 18
Don’t get upset with your friends if they haven’t been the best at staying in touch with you lately. They are very busy working ‘round the clock to make it easy to chill with you in the future. Everyone will be happy to see each other when things calm down a bit.

PISCES February 19 - March 20
Cars are nothing but trouble and your car is no exception. Winter is a horrible time to sell a car, but you really need to get that beater off of your lawn. Do whatever it takes to sell it without letting the buyer think he’s getting a lemon.
