SOBER SCOPES MAY 2005


ARIES-Now that you've recovered from all the confusion and irritations plopped on your plate in early April, you can relax and start to deal with yourself again. If you are finding that others around you are stupid, hard to deal with and unreasonable, then more than likely the problem is yourself. Aries people often project inner turmoil onto the world around them. If you are reasonably humble, you'll look inside and see what is wrong. Are you overtaxing yourself? Are you refusing to delegate? Are you doing for others what they could easily do for themselves? Or perhaps, just maybe, is your ego in charge giving you the impression that you are never wrong? If so, you could also be feeling very lonely because while we are all looking for Mr./Ms Right, we aren't looking for Mr./Ms ALWAYS Right.



TAURUS-The planet of Luck, Expansion and Growth (Jupiter) is retrograde in your house of work and health this month. While Taurus' are known for their patience, they don't do well with the unknownwhich is where you stand right now in those areas. If you are dealing with a work related issue, have some more patience, what you are looking for hasn't arrived just yet. You are usually an excellent employee and a trusted one at that so that isn't what is wrong. Take this time to specify what you really, really want from a job. Redo that resume. If something has passed you by such as a promotion or another position don't be stubborn and refuse others offers or pout. You will get what you need and more if you can grasp the concept of acceptance. If this is a health related issue, please follow your doctor's advice, don't binge or give up on treatment. Sometimes our bodies take awhile to heal, treat it right.



GEMINI-During the Mercury retrograde of March and April, we Geminis had a heck of a time. We were irritable and short tempered and now we're having to deal with the fruits of that behavior. One of our life's lessons is patience. Be patient with those around us, some people may still be nursing grudges from our past attitudesI'm sorry, I apologize should be quickly added into our vocabulary lest the hurts we have caused affect our relationships. Don't assume other people know we didn't mean it because that is yet another way of dodging responsibility. Take care with money as well, save or invest but don't spend all you haveif possible get the advice of someone well versed in handling it and heed it. You will be grateful for the restraint later on.



CANCERPesky Saturn is still in your sign for another few months giving you the feeling of spinning your wheels. While some alone time is needed don't use it for brooding or isolatingtake the pen to paper and figure out what you need in order to live effectively. Hang out with positive people, avoid others who reflect your own sense of depression. Cancers are like sponges and they soak up the feelings of their environment. When possible, be of service. Nothing jolts you out of your own stuff like helping someone else. You are generally well liked and well loved but sometimes you can't feel it but when you actively care about others it opens your own channels. Home life is a challenge right now. Take care of what you are asked to do and don't worry about what others aren't doing, that should remove some of the pressure. Remember that others have their own problems too, not any less or more than yours.



LEO-Some but not all of the mysteries surrounding a love relationship will be cleared up this month. Try not to be judgmental in regards to this, unless you've been the perfect saint in all of your affairs. Sometimes people are afraid to admit their faults because they don't want it to be used against them. Information is not ammunition. This is a time for greater understanding and compassion on both sides, handle it properly and everyone wins. Many of your inner fears are rolling around in your psyche causing you to behave a bit impulsively or childishly. Before you take any decisive action run it by a trusted friend, one who won't co-sign your baloney, to see if you are out of line. You could end up having what you don't want if you don't rein in your reactions. Besides, you look very sexy when you're vulnerable and sweet.



VIRGO-Take a deep breath, find joy in the small things and reach out. I'd tell you to run naked in the rain but I know you'd never allow yourself that amount of freedom. Pluto still sits in your house of home and family leaving you duty bound and trapped but in other areas of your chart you have release. The close knit of friends give you support, the area of work keeps you busy as does the area of fun and children. Virgos can receive much comfort in the distraction of music and movies. Watch comedies and laugh, listen to music that inspires you to relax. In spite of your limited time and finances, you can still find enjoyment so seek it out as much as possible. It is allowed in the scheme of things, so don't feel guilty. Life is about balance, may you find it now.



LIBRA-Did you know that Libra rules partnerships? An out of balanced Libra is either very selfish or too selfless in relationships. If you fall into one of those 2 categories, the question to ask is who is getting it allyou or them. If you are hearing from more than one source that you are one of those things, it is time to take a look at your relationships. While it is good to pull back and regroup, don't do it in a vacuum as you need the feed back from other people. Reconnect with your community and pals. Your energy has been lagging lately because of all the demands on your time but the way to recharge, for Libras, is to get the energy from friends. This is not to say you should burn the candle at both ends but make reasonable plans so that work, play and rest have equal time. Life is too short for burn out.



SCORPIOYou folks are not good with dealing with the mundane issues of day to day living, you much prefer action and intensity. Obviously if you don't deal with the mundane, things fall apart and if you only deal with the mundane, Scorpios can develop a paralyzing depression. There is a little known monk like aspect to your sign. You have an regenerative power few of us possess, if you can only find the means to harness it. Younger and less developed Scorpions seek happiness from the outside and willingly throw away what they feel is holding them back only to find themselves singing the same old drunken lullaby again and again. A more lasting joy is found inside. Start first by accepting who and where you are at this time and being grateful for it. Appreciation is a key to fulfillment. The affection of a child, a favorite pet or even something so silly as a song are a few ways to pull you out of your head. Remembering a point in time where you felt extremely happy and reliving it, without nostalgia, where you felt the joy in your body is another way to transcend a dark mood. Finally taking steps to bring more fulfillment into your life i.e. making the calls, and contacts and trusting the universe will respond will take you farther faster than moping in a cave. Try it, you've nothing to lose but the dark days.



SAGITTARIUS-If you want a Sag to do something, tell them not to. You are the eager to please puppy-dogs of the zodiac but only on your terms. Being told when, how or what to do turns you into mules. You need the freedom to be and choose or else you'll find you are constantly struggling for air. This month, should be a bit freer than this past year. You have more free time and space that allows you to explore and will make for a happier you and better times for the people you care for. Pluto is still in your sign forcing you to deal with your subconscious barriers and fears but at least with more alone time you can handle it in your own way. Sags rarely isolate because their curiosity gets the better of them and they can't hide for very long. Some physical exercise involving stretching and extending the limbs will help in relieving the tensions you've garnered by holding it all in this winter. As you get more relaxed, so do your situations. Next month when Jupiter, your ruler, goes direct you may even reconnect with some people from your past. It'll be good, all good.



CAPRICORNYour ruler, Saturn, has been retrograde for awhile and while it hasn't hurt your job or career it hasn't made life easy for your personal life. Capricorns understand rules, this is how it should be and this is how one should act is their mottos. You need to take into account that not everyone agrees with a black and white set of rules and that grey areas, especially in human relationships, are also valid. Rather than feeling hurt when someone breaks your sense of order, try to see the situation from their perspectiveif you don't know what that is, ask them. Make every effort to understand where they are coming from. By doing this, you'll get yourself out of a lot of mental jams because what you may have assumed to be true more than likely isn't. Capricorns are good and loyal people but can be pretty hard-assed when it comes to disagreements so give yourself a break and listen.







AQUARIUSIf there were no Aquarius, we'd have no social justice, no humanitarian advocates at all. You guys champion the underdogs, fight for injustice and make sure everyone gets their fair share. You are very result oriented and if the result isn't immediate, you get angry and angry Aquarians can be destructive. If it feels like a losing battle, understand that you may still be planting a seed which may not grow to fruition for awhile. One day others will see what you see but you can't force it down their throats or denounce everyone for being shortsighted, that will have the opposite effect and no one will listen to you. You guys have quick tempers and sharp tongues, not the best combination if you are trying to garner support for a cause. Utilize the present but rarely used talent you have for softness and compassion, you won't be taken advantage of, we're all too afraid of you to do that.



PISCESYou assume people you care about know you love them by the simple fact that you're around but that isn't always the case. Everyone needs to hear they are loved and appreciated and if you aren't hearing it either, why not be the one to start. Neptune, your ruler, just went out of retrograde in Aquarius and you are just now feeling the need to branch out in your life, add more things, explore new territories. For a long time much of your life has been dormant and so much of it needs to be kick started now. Adding people to your circle of friends will do a lot for you because their ideas will give you new ideas. In romance, it is also time to add some new things. If single, start going out again. Put yourself in situations where you can meet someone. If already in a relationship bring something new to the table, surprise them with a random act of kindness and affection. Don't be stubborn. Pisces people are often the ones who set the tone of the partnership, what you give, you'll get back.

I love reading my horoscopes everyday! Thanks for the post Gina...
I am a Libra and it fits me perfect. Almost everything I read on libra's is exactly the way I am.... It would be interesting to see what everyone else is?
Come on people, what's your sign??
Hey Rae,

I'm Libra too. How are you doing? Hi Gina, Love reading these. They are so funny.

Love,
Liz
WOW,this "scope" couldnt have been more true for me!

Hey Liz,
I am doing good thanks for asking. I will send you a n e-mail soon. I am getting ready to walk out the door to get my daughter from school. So how is your husband? Still planning on getting into that rehab? I posted some good info on methadone a few days ago, hope you got a chance to read some of it.
Well gotta run, take care. Love Rae
Hey Rae,

Yes I read that thread on the methadone. Real scary stuff. My husband is still in the nursing home and still doesn't know when he will be getting out. No answers on that yet. He just heals real slow.
Far as getting into a rehab, Yes, Definitely am going. My daughter graduates June 25, want to go in right after that. I have to be there for that but I probably will be missing her party being she wants to have it in the second week of July. It's hard enough waiting this long to go in but I can't wait until July. Really hoping to be out by August, since I get my son for the month. I just got your email, I will respond to it later. I have to get going soon to pick my son up from school. I get him for a few hours on Tuesday Afternoons.

Love,
Liz

Hey Rae,

gina :)
I'm such a cancer, lol. Cool Gina, love, Kat
I am so that Taurus. Except for the work thing... I don't work. Can't get promoted as a house wife. Could get de-moted though I guess.

Thanks for that, Gina

Hello everyone,

Pisces here. My scope says I'm supposed to tell you all how much I love and appreciate you.

How is everyone today?

With love and much appreciation,
Gina
Hey Gina, and I'm a sponge and soaking up the feelings of my envirorment, so thanks, lol. How was your day? We don't have any obstacles to overcome today do we? lol. Seems like yours end up teaching me too. Love, Kat
Hiya Kat,

That problem about telling our kids, you mean? Did you see Tom's thread about smoking? It was really helpful. Start with the cigarette warning, then the alcohol warning and move on to drugs (much) later.

Your scope also said you're depressive and spinning your wheels -- true or not?

How're you today?

Love,
G
Hey Gina, me depressed? naw, I'm pretty lucky like that. I'm always spinning my wheels though, don't all moms? Hope I'm not the only one, lol.You'd think telling kids every day for years to put their laundry in the laundry room that at some point they would just do it.
One lucky thing, about cigarettes, I don't have to have that talk with them. They have it with me all the time. My kids should be on an anti cigarette comercial. I'm accustomed to their warped sense of humor.
Mom, how many days did you take off your life today?
Mom, could you please blow some second hand smoke at me? I'm feeling suicidal.
This one did not amuse me. At a store my son told the cashier to please not sell his mother any cancer. He looks at her with pitiful puppy eyes (she looked alarmed) then an evil grin at me. I pointed to the door with a glare. A look like that from my mother meant iminent death, my kid looks back pleadingly at the cashier on his way out and tells her he doesn't want to be an orphan.
lol, sound like I need to have that talk? Not any time soon. Love, Kat
Hi Kat,

LMAO, your kids are a riot -- especially the joker who pulled that stunt in the store. They also sound self-possessed and comfortable with expressing an opinion that differs from yours. That's really healthy, and I know I should be working on that with my children. But I really don't want to be shown up at the cigarette store.

Love, g
