Islamabad, Friday, 18 November, 2005

 

 
ARIES (March 21-April 19) TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

Glitches, hang-nail annoyances, delays and snafus arise in matters related to publishing, the media, travel, foreign countries, medicine and the law. Get used to disappointment. This area of your life is under siege now. If you travel, try to visit places you’ve been before. (Mercury retrograde!)
 

Although Mercury retrograde causes delays and miscommunications and silly errors, it also provides a wonderful opportunity to finish up old stuff. Your sign in particular can make good use of this influence. Tackle old business related to storage, shared property, insurance matters and taxes.
 

GEMINI (May 21- June20) CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Mercury goes retrograde about three times a year. This time, it occurs directly opposite your sign. Expect to run into ex-partners and spouses. This might be unnerving. (Was that you hiding in aisle 3?) However, this is a great time to resolve unfinished business. Eh wot?
 

Oy vay. This Mercury retrograde really attacks your job scene. Expect to deal with delays, mixed-up communications, staff shortages, machinery breakdowns and co-workers from your past. On the other hand (you have different rings), you can finish old business at work. (This is good.)
 

LEO (July 23 - Aug.22) VIRGO (Aug.23 - Sept. 22 )

Like hello? No matter who you are, expect to have some caught-like-a-deer-in-the-headlights moments in the next few weeks. (Actually, they’ve already started.) Mercury retrograde occurs in your sign! Memory paralysis, delays, lost items, confusion, misunderstandings — and people from your past are guaranteed.
 

For some reason (actually, it’s Mercury retrograde), dealings with the government and large situations are back. But that’s not all. Fears and self-doubts emerge from the ether, as well. Don’t take any of this seriously. It’s imaginary. Shrug it off. Gone in a month. (Who was that masked man?)
 

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov.21 )

Old friends are back on the scene. This is a great time to swap lies and catch up on old stories. Those who are back in your life now can be a reference point for you, or possibly they can offer tips, advice or introduce you to helpful people. It’s good to have history with others.
 

Checks in the mail will be late this month. Money matters are delayed. Returning purchases to stores might be easy, however. (It’s easier to deal with past financial matters than it is to initiate new ones.) Collect money that is owed to you. In turn, pay past due bills.
 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Be extra patient with co-workers today. Today’s full moon makes some people get their belly in a rash. Don’t provoke anyone or anything. Allow extra time for everything. Be patient with delays and misunderstandings. Demonstrate grace under pressure. Show the troops how it’s done.
 

Work connected with creative projects, children, show business, the entertainment world, professional sports and the hospitality industry is challenged today. Romantic relationships are similarly challenged. Be forgiving. Don’t take things personally. Be gentle with others. This is easier for everyone.
.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20)

Domestic relationships are stressful today. Fortunately, this stress is mainly due to the full moon. That means in 48 hours, it will diminish considerably. Many of you feel stressed out because of partnerships and relationships. This will pass. (Drink lots of water.)
 

Although it’s difficult to make progress in new ventures, you can definitely tie up details connected with previous projects. This is a wonderful time to make progress with old business. You might also deal with a parent about old matters.
 

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Shigeru Miyamoto (1952) shares your birthday. You have the power to magnetize what you want to you. (Be careful what you wish for.) You have marvelous organizational and planning skills! (You’re a perfectionist.) You’re an extremely thoughtful, considerate person. You educate yourself, and because you have common sense and wisdom, others seek your advice. Increased solitude this year helps you to learn something new and important.
