ATHENA - the Smart One Who Never Got The Guys Until She Got
Contacts (March 21-April 19) From the 20th thru the
26th, you are sick of your job, your co-workers, your boss
and his stupid jade plant. Everybody acts like every deadline
is sooo important and all you want to do is to tell them to
get off your back! Don't worry, it's normal to feel this way
sometimes, just don't act on your impulses. What's that? The
stars really don't care if the horoscope in your local newspaper
told you to go ahead and act on your impulses, we're telling
you they are out of their friggin' minds. Oh yeah? Well why
don't you just have them give us a call!

JUNO
- the One Who Says She's Happily Married (April 20-May 20)
Your figure becomes an issue on the 21st when the zipper on
your "fat" pants refuses to meet up with the button at the
waistband. The lesson here is that there is a limit to how
many Peanut M&Ms one can eat in a weekend for God's sake,
and you know better than anyone what that is. By the way,
the heavenly bodies know all about the Snickers bar in your
gym bag, you cheater.

APHRODITE - the Impossibly Thin-Thighed (May 21-June 21)
Be cautious about investments this month: frankly, the automatic
toenail cutter doesn't look to be a big hit, and perhaps you
shouldn't put all your money into the empty-toilet-roll warning
system. Simplify! A company picnic, a few shots of Cuervo
Gold and a cell phone camera can provide the financial security
you crave.

DIANA - the Bargain Hunter (June 22-July 22)
The big party you're planning will be the talk of the town!
Gather the right music, your best glassware (those Davey Crockett
juice glasses are just not going to cut it!), and all your
favorite recipes. Preparation is the key to the success of
any party. Unless, of course, it's scheduled for the 8th,
9th or 15th. Then go right ahead and use the Davey Crockett
juice glasses. And while you're at it, you might want to wear
a coon skin cap.

DEMETER - the Condom Bearer (July 23-August 22) A
friend comes through with tickets to that show you really,
really wanted to see. The seats are center orchestra and some
really short people bought the seats in the row in front.
The timing has worked out that you don't have to work the
next day, you have a babysitter; it's all looking so good!
Oh, wait a minute. the heavenly bodies report that your friend
gave the tickets to her super. Oh well, that show was overrated
anyway.

VESTA - the Lover of Laundry (August 23-September 22) Who
can believe that that good-looking actor is dating that loser
actress? Certainly not you! She is basically a complete bimbo
as far as you're concerned. What has she got that I don't?
you can't stop thinking. Try a multi-million dollar house,
salary and large, plastic breasts. Then get back to us.

PERSEPHONE - the One Who Never Wears White After Labor Day
(September 23-October 23) A pet or a pet-like relationship
you have (which may be a boyfriend, husband, in-law, or appliance),
is becoming burdensome to you. Do you really need to hand-feed
this creature (boyfriend, husband, in-law or appliance)? At
least your pet cuddles when you want. OK, keep hand-feeding
the pet, but the rest of them are on their own.

LEDA - the Wearer of Tu Tus (October 24-November 21)
Your mother will not let that one topic go. She simply will
not stop! What is with her anyway? Is it because you forgot
her birthday this year? Ooh, that's bad. Wow. The stars would
not want to be in your shoes! The stars also say that Mother's
Day is coming up and suggest now might be a good time to reexamine
your checking account to see if you really need all that money
in there.

ECHO - the One With All the Good Gossip (November 22-December
21)
You hate camping and are kicking yourself for agreeing to
go on that trip with your new boyfriend. There really is no
way around it. Make sure you pack mosquito repellent, sturdy
shoes and a flat-screen TV set. With any luck, the trip will
coincide with your own lunar calendar, you'll get your period
and they'll have to airlift you out.

PANDORA - the One Who Always Overpacks (December 22-January
19)
Don't be paranoid! Your girlfriends are not getting together
every weekend at each other's houses for really fun potlucks,
facials and manicures. And no one is making fun of that "leather
look" outfit you wore to the big thing at that guy's house.
Stop worrying about what other people think and go out and
do some shopping! Just to be on the safe side however, you
might want to replace wardrobe items that have the suffix
"-look".

PSYCHE - the Headcase (January 20-February 18)
You are the last one on the planet earth who is still watching
MTV. You are the only person you know without a palm pilot.
If you have a working turntable in your apartment, the heavens
have news for you:
Attention!
The Clash are not getting back together! No, really!

PHOEBE - the Unlikely Sit-Com Star (February 19-March 20)
It's true: someone in your circle is having sex and they are
enjoying it. Find out who they are and have them tell you
about it. Sharing all the juicy details with your significant
other will introduce some much-needed spice into your own
relationship. Then you can hop in bed and get some sleep.

Bonus Horoscope (for those who didn't like their own)
Think
twice about closing on your new house or apartment. Did you
see that bathroom? There's enough mold in there you could
seal the thing off and call it a terrarium. Perhaps renovating
your own home is the answer. Start off small, by emptying
the dishwasher.
