UNDERWATER
AMSTERDAM
FEBRUARY 2012
22 July-22 August
Impulsiveness is very likely on the 1st, thanks to a Venus-Mars opposition. You argue with yourself and anyone near you. One minute, you're all for doing something, and the next minute, you're against it. Pity the poor fool that jumps in and sides with you, because you'll shift moods again and tell him or her what a stupid idea it is. So keep your argument internal. You can always unload on your priest or therapist. It's their job to absorb it. But don't drag your friends into it. The 2nd is a holiday that almost no one understands or cares about: Groundhog's day. The 3rd pushes Neptune into its comfort zone, the sign where it belongs: Pisces. This emphasizes Pisces' traits, love of music, escape, and glamour. The movies are a great idea – but no depressing ones, please. The more fantasy and beauty and romance, the better. The 7th brings a Full Moon in Leo, making everything all about THOU, QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE. At times, you enforce your boundaries with ferocity, but hesitate at other moments because Saturn goes retro on the same day until late June. This gives you time to carefully think about the repercussions of anything you say, think or do. Venus does Your Majesty a favor on the 8th by entering Aries, much to your joy, giving you a kind of moral authority over most others. As if that's a surprise. The 9th and 10th, however, are universally confusing and prickly with one pot calling the other black over and over. This might be a personal issue, repetitive ads you see on TV, or family squabbles about who's the worst scrabble player. You know, really important stuff. Yeah. The key is to quietly sneak out the back door while others cavil upon a hair and go do something interesting. They're so full of palaver, they won't notice you're gone for at least 30 minutes, probably more. The 13th and 14th are really Valentine-perfection. You're feeling friendly and luscious and loving; and whether you have someone to love or not, you have plenty of love to pass around to pals and colleagues. You are a JOY to be with. You enter the room and everyone smiles. How much better can it get? Then on the 15th, there may be one rotten, but mostly jealous or paranoid apple that bugs you. Don't even dignify his or her comments with a response. It's like offering a Vampire free blood. Why subject yourself to such abuse? Get up and walk away, or hang up the phone, or delete a vituperative email. Easy-peasy. The 16th and 18th are lotto heaven days for a handful of you. You might be part of that handful. BUY TICKETS! Buy several varieties to cover all the bases and may the luck of the Irish be yours! [continued on next page...]
