Q Scopes

By Jack Fertig

Put on leather, Sagittarius!

The planets are still clustered in Virgo, a more sensual sign than most people credit. You can still do that whiz-bang housecleaning, filing, etc. – but if you’re caught up in your work, you can put Virgoan sensuality and skill to more amusing whizzing and banging!
ARIES (March 20 – April 19): When will these planets get out of Virgo? You may be tired of housekeeping in your horoscopes, but the stars show major productivity there. Community efforts are also indicated and may be a lot more fun.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Recent creative fun is now becoming effortful, but that means time to hone your skills, developing your abilities further, perhaps even finding a professional application or a new income in your pastimes.
GEMINI (May 21- June 20): It’s time to get serious about a budget. Household expenses are a good place to start economizing. Carefully consider community activities, but energy invested wisely will pay off well.
CANCER (June 21- July 22): Find a confidant with whom you can discuss your hard times, and try to refrain from making times hard for others! Your tongue is very sharp these days. If you want to play Dorothy Parker, try typing, not sniping!
LEO (July 23 – August 22): Retail therapy is no solution to money troubles, so why does a spendaholic binge seem so attractive? Clean out your storage area and have a sidewalk sale to satisfy your craving for commerce.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Your political acuity is very sharp now, but so is your tongue. Seeing the negative in others is good protection; sharing that info is a delicate art. Like the Wicked Witch of the West said, “These things must be done delicately, or you damage the spell.”
LIBRA (September 23 – October 21): Self-esteem issues can make a great fuel to achievement as a form of compensation, or they could undermine your career goals. Compensation ain’t so bad! Any sort of exercise will help you to focus and stay positive, but don’t overdo it.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): You need a good, intellectual challenge. Arguments only count in very specific situations. An obscure research project is a healthier focus. Political philosophy or the adaptive qualities of organized religion are good topics for you now.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): You are looking astonishingly sexy these days! Playing up your maturity or putting on some leather will help. Your air of commanding assurance can also help you get ahead at work, though it might also arouse trouble from the competition.
CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): You could get into a great argument with a Scorpio or a really bad one with your partner. Or you could explore some very kinky sex with a potential or actual mate. Either way, you need an intellectual challenge, and yes, kinky sex can be one!
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Erotic opportunities seem to be everywhere. On the job is not a good place to be seeing them! Sublimate at least some of that energy into creativity, but remember, “All work and no play…” Balance work with fun, and excel at both!
PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Getting hot and twisted with a new playmate is easy, but maintaining an existing partnership is challenging. Work on your partnership, or in one. Collaboration helps to energize and focus your creative work.
