Your weekly dose of TIMEPASS<br />
HOROSCOPE<br />
Aries<br />
You’re a remarkable positive force as the week begins, with the gumption<br />
to get stuff going and all the necessary follow-through, too. Which areas<br />
of your life need some advancing? Tackle them now, because around<br />
Wednesday, your energy changes a bit — you’re dreamier, thinking in<br />
more abstract terms. You may even be indecisive about a certain situation<br />
or someone. Allow your feelings to evolve and don’t get frustrated,<br />
because on Friday or over the weekend, a sweet new possibility’s there<br />
for you. All you have to do is seek it out — and you’ll love the process<br />
of looking.<br />
Taurus<br />
Something truly different may come your way as the week begins,<br />
whether in the form of a person, an idea or maybe an opportunity. Don’t<br />
let the oddity throw you; take a look, and you may see something amazing.<br />
Around Wednesday, the company of family and friends feels just<br />
right. You might find that a collection of people comes up with a great<br />
idea — or just has a fun celebration! From Friday through the weekend,<br />
do the opposite of clamming up. Try confiding a feeling, giving your two<br />
cents, making a wish. Somebody’s got something to add that might just<br />
rock your world.<br />
Gemini<br />
Your stellar ability to set preconceptions aside really comes in handy as<br />
the week begins. Your curiosity — about a situation, another person,<br />
yourself — can be richly rewarded now. Work or another commitment<br />
may be driving you nuts around Wednesday, but you’ll want to think<br />
things through and determine the real issue prior to speaking your mind.<br />
A mentor, a partner or a friend can help alter your perspective. Seeking<br />
out multiple points of view is favored from Friday through the weekend.<br />
The more you know, the more your own vision grows.<br />
Cancer<br />
Dang, a certain someone seems cold as the week begins! But before<br />
you get miffed and tell them so, consider that maybe they’re just not as<br />
expressive as you. Looking into interpersonal matters like this is favored<br />
around Wednesday, and you’re also much more likely to be in the same<br />
groove as others now. Listen for your best instincts to chime in. From<br />
Friday through the weekend, what seems like an instinct could be more<br />
of a knee-jerk, and perhaps oversensitive, reaction. Avoid assumptions<br />
— they could cause problems, while clarity could be a question<br />
or two away.<br />
Leo<br />
Virgo<br />
Libra<br />
Scorpio<br />
Save the power plays for an appropriate arena as the week begins —<br />
like (maybe) work. It’s not so much about getting ahead now; concentrate<br />
more on exploring the unknown and finding a fresh perspective.<br />
A certain someone may be a little touchy-feely or wishy-washy for your<br />
taste around Wednesday, but be gentle — there’s likely more to this<br />
situation than meets the eye. Finesse it rather than forcing it. Then, from<br />
Friday through the weekend, fun’s absolutely in your stars. The more<br />
oddball things you try and weird people you meet, the happier you’ll be.<br />
Let the weird, good times roll!<br />
Renovations and innovations are favored in all aspects of your life as the<br />
week begins, so make some changes, major or minor. (However, don’t<br />
forget to spend some downtime right in your comfort zone, too.) Around<br />
Wednesday, you may want to put the brakes on and reevaluate existing<br />
projects, relationships and so forth. The cosmic light’s yellow now, if<br />
not blinking red. Money counts from Friday through the weekend, and<br />
you may be counting yours — or counting on someone else to do their<br />
financial part. Give these matters due consideration in a timely fashion.<br />
Balance getting back to work with a little fun as the week begins. You’ve<br />
got great intellectual power and some extra oomph in the love department<br />
now — wow! There’s plenty of time to buckle down and work on<br />
ongoing projects and responsibilities around Wednesday, but note that<br />
this may not be the time to kick off something new or make a major<br />
decision. From Friday through the weekend, though, confronting an<br />
interpersonal angle — good, bad or to be determined — is best done<br />
right away and head-on. You’ll feel way better once you do.<br />
If life’s less than harmonious as the week begins, well, the drama<br />
makes all the world a stage. Don’t forget that you’re the author of your<br />
own part, though; make this production lead to growth. A love scene<br />
just might be in the cosmic script around Wednesday, with an intimate<br />
heart-to-heart a distinct possibility. If you’re coupled up, make it happen<br />
with your costar; if you’re single, how about some auditions? More<br />
behind-the-scenes stuff is important from Friday through the weekend. A<br />
supporting role can be very satisfying now.<br />
Sagittarius<br />
Capricorn<br />
Aquarius<br />
Pisces<br />
You’re all revved up as the week begins if the stars have their say, and<br />
if you’re open-minded, you just might find a surprising (and surprisingly<br />
great) route to take. Feel free to go off the map! Your energy’s<br />
downshifted around Wednesday; to get anything done, you may need<br />
a jumpstart. Think exercise instead of more coffee — it’ll center your<br />
thoughts, too. From Friday through the weekend, it’s happy-go-lucky fun<br />
and games — life’s more like bumper cars than rush-hour traffic now,<br />
and you might bump right into some romance!<br />
How about starting a new tradition or trying on another style as the week<br />
begins? Whether it’s at work or at home, thinking differently should be<br />
much appreciated (and even fun). Then, around Wednesday, you just<br />
might find yourself engrossed in a creative enterprise or an interpersonal<br />
one (or both!). There are all kinds of delights and satisfaction to be<br />
found; give big ambition a rest. From Friday through the weekend, your<br />
challenge may be to balance some opposites — work and play, maybe,<br />
or responsibility and daring. Later on in the day Sunday, romance is in<br />
the stars!<br />
If the stars have their say, you’re all passion and courage as the week<br />
begins, intent on making the world turn your way. Let those around you<br />
in on your plan — they’ll love it (and they’ll very likely love you!).<br />
Around Wednesday, some more mundane duties require attention; it<br />
may be financial matters or miscellaneous numbers. You may not want<br />
to change your focus, but you’ll have major issues later if you don’t. And<br />
never fear, because from Friday through the weekend, the stars send big,<br />
amazing stuff to you, along with a heightened sense of your interconnectedness<br />
to others. (That’s hot!)<br />
Certain expectations put on you on Monday or Tuesday might mean<br />
you already feel like you need a break (and the week’s just started!).<br />
Set some limits; don’t push yourself to the point of stress. Around<br />
Wednesday, life looks much easier (and love may, too). It’s a gorgeous<br />
time to commence or continue something creative, something that’ll<br />
really change your world. You might be entirely absorbed in something<br />
or someone from Friday through the weekend — but don’t miss an<br />
element that’s not immediately apparent!<br />

JUST FOR LAUGHs<br />
After a very busy day, a commuter<br />
settled down in her seat and<br />
closed her eyes as the train departed<br />
Montreal for Hudson. As<br />
the train rolled out of the station,<br />
the guy sitting next to her pulled<br />
out his cell phone and started<br />
talking in a loud voice...<br />
“Hi sweetheart it’s Eric, I’m on<br />
the train - yes, I know its the six<br />
thirty and not the four thirty but<br />
I had a long meeting - no, honey,<br />
not with that floozie from the accounts<br />
office, with the boss. No<br />
sweetheart, you’re the only one in<br />
my life - yes, I’m sure, cross my<br />
heart etc. etc....”<br />
Fifteen minutes later, he was still<br />
talking loudly, when the young<br />
woman sitting next to him, who<br />
was obviously angered by his continuous<br />
diatribe, yelled at the top<br />
of her voice, “Hey, Eric, turn that<br />
stupid phone off and come back<br />
to bed!”<br />
Eric doesn’t use his cell phone in<br />
public any longer.<br />
