HOROSPOKEâ„¢: November 21-28

So, my crystal ball is on the fritz this week. As crazy psychics are prone to do, I panicked and promptly threw it against the wall. It took out a lamp and may have concussed my dog before shattering all over my den floor. Needless to say, I had to improvise a bit for this week’s installment of Horospoke. Tarot cards are not my style, nor is reading your tea leaves. Of course, the fact that none of you are within physical distance to participate in such an intimate reading was yet another obstacle. What’s a girl to do? Yeah, you guessed it; I got drunk. I drank white wine, vodka tonics, and some obscure bitter-tasting-yuppie beers. Then I finished it off with a shot of tequila.

And then.
Then, it hit me.
It needs no further introduction. Get to know your fellow Horospokians. You have much to learn from each other. Probably much to hate and/or lust after as well. Let’s get it on, bitches.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
My darling Aries. You look better this week, which is good. I mean, I was thinking of contacting your cardiologist. As far as the situation you’re handling with that on-again/off-again friend, you have two options. If your urges to resist are simply causing too much heartburn, then obviously you need to act upon your desires (GO TO GEMINI). On the other hand, your conscience is probably wooing you strongly in the opposite direction. If you can control yourself, take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back (GO TO PISCES).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus, you have a shit-ton of unnecessary drama surrounding you this week. In fact, I’m concerned that you may not be handling things too well. Here’s the deal: you are forgetting to take care of yourself and those that love you. Try to stop worrying about the ones that are creating tension in your life and plan a nice evening of partying and hot sex. Why don’t you go to that hardcore concert next weekend (GO TO LIBRA) or perhaps just hit up the liquor store and that Mom & Pop video rental place that still has the “back room” (THE END. You’ve just run into your sibling perusing the Debbie Does Collection and get too flustered to grab any porn. You pound the vodka back in the car and get arrest for DWI on the way home).
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Damn, you are on fucking fire! While you may still have some minor details to figure out, a lot of your plans are falling into place at long-last. Now is not the time for modesty, so take the moment for what it is: the prelude to your fifteen minutes of fame. Of course, you could fuck things up more easily that you might think. What to do? Be prepared for an intimate and productive encounter. And we all know that being prepared means buying some new underwear. Are you going to head over to H&M? (GO TO TAURUS.) Or would you rather see what LaPerla has in its bargain racks? (GO TO LEO.)
Cancer (June 22-July22)
Ok Cancer, this is going to be one of your best weeks in a while. Just think, family and friends, turkey and gravy, and maybe even some football and porn. You’re finally out of your dark pool of self despair, even if it’s momentary. So, we’re gonna run with this and see if we can get those endorphins to carry you through the entire Holiday Season. I would recommend something fully festive, like creating your own holiday–sorry Blogmukah is already taken–and getting all Martha Stewart on the homefront (GO TO SAGITTARIUS) or possibly signing up to be one of those scary Salvation Army bell ringers (GO TO AQUARIUS).
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Ok, so maybe you’re not the big gigantic hairy ass that I’ve been making you out to be. Well, hairy maybe, but not gigantic. This week, you are going to be a bit more mellow than usual, and I hope you are able to decompress enough to enjoy it. If you have been misleading with your best friend, you should probably use this time to expose yourself. Not in public, of course. Gonna get all sensitive and sweet as you bear your, um, soul? (GO TO ARIES.) Or would you rather just drop-trau and moon me? (THE END. Girlspoke Security has blocked your IP address for unsportsmanlike conduct. Profuse apologizing and asskissing may reverse your charges.)
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
You’re not one to mope, typically, so try not to let this week get the best of you. In fact, what you are interpreting as a dry spell may just be the abstract vacation that you’ve been needing all along. Emotional strength can be one of your strongest assets, but you may have been feeling blah as of late. Choose one of the following activities in order to resist falling into a dangerous comfort zone: entice some married men to ogle you and throw fifty-dollar bills at you simply for being incredibly hot (GO TO CANCER) or maybe just tell that certain someone off; he (or is it a she?) totally needs to be grounded, and you’re the perfect person to bring ‘em down. (GO TO CAPRICORN.)
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Be careful, my Libra. You are feeling really happy and all that great shit, but getting too sunshine & lollipops! is dangerous (not to mention annoying as fuck). You have some really big things that need to be taken care of. Sometimes it’s good to be detached, if only to get your shit in line. Remember that you can only be as happy as you make yourself. Or something like that. I’m not a fucking poet. So, either take your phone off the hook and lock yourself in the library (GO TO GEMINI) or throw caution to the wind and tell me to fuck off (THE END. No one talks to Jenna that way, you little bitch.)
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You are totally bumming out over something that isn’t going as you’d planned. Just try to remember that you are smarter than them, so they’re obviously the ones that fucked up. With the holidays approaching, you’re also feeling slightly tense, aren’t you? Well, call me crazy (I’m just kidding. Don’t call me anything, or I’ll beat your ass like a Libra), but I think that things will actually be different this year. Feel yourself boiling up and about to blow your load? Try to relax with some spiked EggNog (GO TO TAURUS). Or, if you’re not the raw-egg-guzzlin’ type, then make yourself a White Russian and watch Scarface (GO TO VIRGO).
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
You are so kickass, my Sagittarius. Seriously. Remember that when I tell you that there are a lot of people that are annoyed with you right now. Wait, before you get pissed or start crying, I just hope you realize that they’re hatin’ the player instead of the game. And we all know how incredibly fucked up and unfair that is, right? Right! Keep your head up this week and don’t let those little bitches get you down. Your totally prettier than them, anyway. What’s that? Oh, you’re welcome! (GO TO VIRGO.) Oh, you said I know I am. Duh!? Right. My bad. (THE END. Go to Hell.)
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
This week might feel a bit overwhelming and even depressing, but you’re underestimating your resilience. In fact, you’re underestimating yourself a lot lately. I’m not sure how to encourage you to snap out of this aside from cursing you out, so I’ll try to suggest some activities instead. You deserve an ego boost. How about you go to Hooters (GO TO PISCES) and indulge in some of those infamous wings, or maybe just Google yourself. If someone else has brought more fame to your name than you have, just pretend you’re that person for a few days (GO TO SAGITTARIUS).
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Listen, my watery friend. You’re kind of all over the map this week. I’m not sure if you’re stressed or just trying to please someone that isn’t receptive. Either way, you’re not being effective. I would suggest taking out your journal and trying to write a bit. You need to regroup and refocus your energies. Shit, you may even come up with something good this time! Feel like writing some music or poetry? (GO TO LIBRA.) Or maybe you’re feeling the need to write some witty hatemail instead (GO TO LEO). Either way, do it up. You haven’t written much since you broke your bong, so try to make up for lost time.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Sometimes you sense that the world is overly dark and painful. If you’ve been balancing this out by detaching yourself emotionally, you’re going to run into some problems this week. It’s only a matter of time before the pressure builds up and you flip out on your friend for saying something harmless. Seriously, forgetting to thank the Toll Collector on the highway is no reason to proclaim that you’d rather walk home than ride with such an ungrateful bitch. Have a conversation to put some issues on the table (GO TO CANCER). Otherwise, you’re going to be called out for the psychotic person you’ve become (GO TO SCORPIO).
If you manage to fuck up your destiny this week, you’ve only yourself to blame.
