LEO – July 23 -August 22
Happy birthday, Leo! Now is the time to demand your tithe from the lucky fools you allow to surround you. Suggestions for good tithes to demand: a luxurious cloak; a long red carpet to roll out in front of you wherever you go; a TV that works; a really, really great cheese platter. You have a whole month to unashamedly dominate every room you walk into. I’d tell you to use it wisely, but let’s be realistic – you’ve been preparing for this all year. You know what you’re doing. Go do it.
VIRGO – August 23 – September 23
A good way to deal with feelings of envy is to lean into them. Explore the sensations: bile rising in your throat, a hot swoop in your stomach, frissons of tension running across your shoulders. Once you’re fully immersed in these peculiar sensations it’s easy to see how absurd the whole thing really is. If the worst comes to the worst, just remember: no matter what you do, one day all your enemies will be dead.
LIBRA – September 24 – October 23
You might think that you can cure the vague feelings of disconnection and hollowness that have been plaguing you for year with some external frivolity, like taking up surfing or committing yourself to charity work. Stop fooling yourself. There’s only one way to make things feel right again: blood sacrifice.
SCORPIO – October 24 – November 22
Do all the dishes in the house, every day, for a week. See if unappreciated service fits easily on you, or if the invisibility chafes. Use the feelings generated to your advantage. They won’t know what hit them.
SAGGITARIUS – November 23 – December 20
People will keep asking you to do ridiculous things as long as you agree to do them. Stop agreeing. You owe no debts.
CAPRICORN – December 21 – January 19
This month, walk everywhere. You are banned from cars, bicycles, trams, trains, buses, taxis, Ubers, skateboards, scooters and Heelies. You must walk. Get some good shoes and make the best walking playlist of your life. Think about your distant ancestors, trekking across continents in the heat and ice. Feel the stretch and give of time when measured in walking hours. Check out your calf muscles and feel smug.
AQUARIUS – January 21 – February 19
There’s an awful lot of information out there about crystal healing, but is there anything along the lines of crystal sickening? Your mission this month is to compile as much information as you can on the harm that can be done with crystal vibrations. Feel free to experiment on those closest to you.
PISCES – February 20- March 20
If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re tired, sleep. If your back hurts, take some painkillers. Stop martyring yourself on a cross made of resentment, self-loathing and bad vibes.
ARIES – March 21 – April 20
How clean are you? You could be cleaner.
TAURUS – April 21 – May 21
I don’t care how you feel about vision boards – this month I want you to make one. A real one (no Pinterest), detailing your ideal home, job, partner, pets and/or children, wardrobe, etc. Cut out pictures from library books and waiting room magazines. Accumulate enough inspirational material to never have to think for yourself ever again.
GEMINI – May 22 – June 21
What did you do as a child that might still be around? Did you plant a tree, build a cubby house, write your name in cement, disfigure someone in a schoolyard fight, irreparably break someone’s heart? Find out where you’ve left your mark (hint: Google Earth and Facebook).
CANCER – June 22 – July 22
Isn’t it great when people get tattoos on their hairy arms and legs and then the hair grows back and all of a sudden that lovely Marilyn Monroe face is a werewolf? If you are hairy enough to have the option of doing this, you definitely, definitely should.
