Drop a note at the end of the week to let me know how close they were.

 

Pisces (February 20 – March 20):  Even though you hate it, there are times when you have to wrestle down your daydreaming nature and come back down to earth.  But don’t worry – this isn’t one of those times.  Indulge in dreaminess.  Doodle on desktops, dance with abandon and play passionately with others.  Surreality is far more fun than reality this week!

Famous Pisces pick of the week:  Anais Nin, the dreamy writer who knew how to make her fantasy life excite others!

Aries (March 21 – April 20):  Okay passion princess, what’s going on?  You firmly believe that there’s never a good reason to be bored and yet you’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing lately.  It’s time to take a step over the edge and bring fun and frivolity back to your life.  Do something risqué!  Take a stranger to the Lusty Lady, flirt shamelessly with a favorite friend, or ask questions that you might not want the answers to.

Famous Aries pick of the week:  Vincent Van Gogh, whose passion turned crazy when he stayed inside himself for too long!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):  The Taurus personality is one which absolutely should not be kept indoors.  If you’re dying at your desk and you think that change is in order, you might be able to get yourself revved up again just by getting outside.  Rent a bike and head across the Golden Gate Bridge, go for a picnic at Angel Island or enjoy an urban retreat with a walking tour.

Famous Taurus pick of the week:  William Shakespeare, who took that love of nature (and everything else) and turned it into everlasting art.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21):  Ah Gemini, will you forever want mutually exclusive things?  Probably.  This week, it is that you want to have deep and intimate connections with others but you don’t want to have to reveal your true nature to make that happen.  So what to do?  Well, you can either accept the superficial and browse Craigslist for a casual encounter or you can call up someone who has been on your mind lately and have a heart-to-heart.

Famous Gemini pick of the week:  Paul Gaugin, the artist who retreated to an island because he couldn’t find peace in modern society.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):  You have a strange and secret side of you that often makes you feel misunderstood.  Luckily, the people of San Francisco are strangely forgiving of the oddities of others.  Maybe you want to find someone else who wants to do something naughty at the bath house?  Or perhaps you have an indescribable passion for ping pong?  Or maybe it’s something in the art world that gets you going?  Figure out what it is that sets you apart from others and then do a quick local search and you’re likely to find a segment of the city where you can meet others who have the same quirks. 

Famous Cancer pick of the week:  George Orwell, whose quirky paranoia made for books which have stayed famous.

Leo (July 23 – August 23):  Whatever your best personality trait is, it’s going to shine this week.  If you’re an athlete, you should find a pick-up game somewhere in the city.  If you’re a dancer, hit the clubs.  And if you’re looking to find someone new romantically, you can bet that highlighting what you’re good at it will get you there.

Famous Leo pick of the week:  Carlos Santana, who knew early on that music was his thing and has been excelling at it in true Leo fashion ever since.

Virgo (August 22 – September 22):  It is in the nature of the Virgo to expect that promises made will be kept.  Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is able to live up to that expectation.  If you’re wishing that someone who owes you something will step up to the plate, you may find that you need to take action and confront them with it.  But don’t fret, once you’ve done so, you’ll be able to work through the problem and you’ll soon find that grabbing lunch or happy hour drinks with that person is better than ever before.

Famous Virgo pick of the week:  Mother Teresa; you can bet people keep promises made to this lady!

Libra (September 24 – October 23):  Mirrors will be your friend this week, Libra, as you emanate a healthy glow which improves your appearance from the inside out.  When you walk past the buildings of Union Square and catch a glimpse of yourself in the storefronts, you’ll be pleased with what you see.  And when you pull your eyes away from the mirrors on the dance floors across the city, you’ll notice that you aren’t the only one who has seen the improvement in your look.

Famous Libra pick of the week:  Brigitte Bardot, who knew she was hot and worked it to her advantage.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22):  San Francisco is a city meant for passion and Scorpios are a sign that love every minute of it.  Don’t let your tendency towards moodiness get in the way of indulging your passions.  It’s a great week for doing those things that might be regrettable but will be oh-so-fun.

Famous Scorpio pick of the week: Marie Antoinette, who let her passion work her into a tizzy every time.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21):  Get yourself out of the same old routine and you’ll find that everything in life looks just a little bit better.  Make some travel plans.  Change something around the house.  Let someone new surprise you by not being as typically boring as you’d thought they were going to be.  The world can excite you if you’ll open your eyes to it.

Famous Sag pick of the week:  Bette Midler, who grabbed life by the horns and rode it until she was saddle sore!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20):  What are we going to do with you?  You don’t really like change and yet you absolutely loathe monotony.  The best way to solve this problem is to go out and do new and adventurous things with people who are familiar.  Or to do familiar things with people who are new and adventurous.  Ride an old bus route to a new destination or take a circuitous route to see new things on the way to the same old spots.

Famous Capricorn pick of the week:  Mary Tyler Moore; throw that hat in the air, sister!

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19):  Play is more important than work for you this week, Aquarius.  There’s a need held within you to experience a deep, almost childlike sense of fun in life.  Indulge this need.  Go out to the park and blow bubbles.  See Disney on Ice.  Ask the cable car driver to play music on the bells.  There is wonderment in everything if you try to find it.

Famous Aquarius pick of the week:  Lewis Carroll, who made up a world of his own to indulge this side of his personality.
