Excerpts

TAURUS Your Special Time: April 20 - May 20 You are born when the land is most lush and green. Farmers plant their crops during Taurus. The Earth is strong, and the soil is ready to grow food. April 22 is Earth Day, when we celebrate the beauty of the Earth. And when we celebrate Taurus, a beautiful Earth sign! GEMINI Of All the Animals, You're Most Like . . . A Pair of Twin Monkeys Just like clever, playful monkeys, you are fun to watch and always entertaining. (Being a Gemini-a "twin"-means you have two distinct sides, so you are like two monkeys, not just one. That means twice the fun!) Monkeys play with and mimic the world around them. They are smart, responsive, and affectionate, descriptions that fit Gemini to a T. Not surprisingly, U.S. Census Bureau records show that more twins are born during the time of Gemini than at any other time of the year! CANCER Who Was Your Moon? The Moon has always been related to the Mother. There are more births at the Full moon and the New moon than at any other time! Moon Goddess worship was the dominant religion throughout the world until 1500 B.C. She had many names. Diana, Hecate, and Artemis were just a few, and each had a different story. Even today many cultures, from Native American to orthodox Jew, base their year on lunar months, not solar months. Interestingly, it is the last Sunday in June when most couples get married-this is during Cancer, which is Moon-Birth-Time! LEO Day of the week: SUN-DAY, because the sun is your ruling star. This is an honored day of worship and rest in many societies. So schedule all the things you want to be lucky on Sundays. VIRGO In School Your classmates ask you for the right answers. Your brain loves to chew on facts and information. But you can get obsessive and drive yourself too hard. So, whether it's sports or math or writing, take a break sometimes! LIBRA True Love You idealize and dream about love nonstop. You have a million crushes, and they change pretty fast, but each one feels like it. You have a ton of admirers, but some might be too shy to talk to you. Best Love Matches: Gemini, Aquarius, Libra, and Leo. Sometimes Aries. SCORPIO How to Spot a Scorpio If you put out your psychic antennae, you can spot a Scorpio instantly. It's their aura. They're alone, always alone, even when they're with a group of friends. They're thinking about something, but you can't tell what. And they won't give you a clue. They'll just keep thinking. (Their deep thoughtfulness is intriguing and mysterious, and you can bet you'll want to find out what it's all about. But it's never what you think it is!) Their faces look like beautiful masks, giving nothing away. They also have big liquid eyes, like Scorpios Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan. SAGITTARIUS Okay, So You're Not a Sagittarius . . . But Your Crush Is It's so easy to start a conversation with Sagittarians! They love to talk. Mention animals, or a new way-out idea, and you can't go wrong. Keep it casual. (Remember, they're the only sign who calls themselves by a zodiac nickname-"Sadge." Never Sagittarius! That's too pretentious-sounding for them.) If you make a date, count on them to break it at least once. Secret Tip: They forget all the time. Their personal song should be "Oops! I Did It Again" as fellow Sagittarius Britney Spears sings. CAPRICORN Okay, So You're Not a Capricorn . . . But Your Parent Is This parent has great ambitions for you. Capricorn moms and dads plan out your life and express their love through worrying. It's so comforting to them! But remind them to run around and have fun with you, too. You can look forward to growing up with them, though; they loosen up a lot as they get older. AQUARIUS<
