ARIES Mar 21-Apr 19 LIBRA Sep 23-Oct 22
A banner month for
your finances. It could
also turn out to be
a sexy month, filled
with all sorts of possibilities with
someone you care for, and finally,
this may even turn out to be a
month that allows you to improve
your health impressively as well.
This month should
bring you lots of
wonderful financial
news, some of the very
best of the year. Before you run out
to buy a lotto ticket, wait. There’s
actually no need. The money you
receive now will be money you
earn, not money you win.
TAURUS Apr 21-May 20 SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 22
If you are married, you
should find enormous
benefit from being with
your partner these
days. Your significant other will do
well financially, and so will signs
of much more optimism about the
future. Together, you will consider
how you can do more with the
relationship you share.
This will be an
amazing month for
breakthroughs in
the workplace and
remarkable news concerning your
health and fitness. You can see
stunning progress in one or both
areas, for you can count on the
friendly help of a whole crowd of
planets in rejuvenating Scorpio.
You have not had a
chart this outstanding
for love for a long time.
Your key date to watch
will be November 20, the date of the
new moon. From that day forward,
with just a small effort on your part,
you can start to see things develop
nicely in matters of the heart. That
will be a big date, indeed.
This will be a sexy,
interesting month, filled
with a few unexpected
twists and turns. No
doubt about it, later you’ll say
November turned out to be one of
your best of the year. While you will
have a few bumps here and there,
you won’t encounter anything you
can’t handle.
GEMINI May 21-Jun 20 SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 22
All eyes will be on you,
so in the first three
weeks of November,
take a few moments
to reflect on the coming twelve
months. Your friends will help you
look like a knockout. It’s now up to
you to look the part and do them
justice. You will be surprised how
well you carry yourself.
CANCER Jun 20-Jul 21 CAPRICORN Dec 21-Jan 19
The month will start
out quite highly
romantic. It is likely
to bring on quite
an enchanting evening, one that
you long remember. You may be
surrounded by many smiling friends
one weekend. Perhaps you will
attend a wedding, charity event, or
other magical party.
Ano nga ba ang
sex ng computer:
Lalaki o babae?
A Spanish teacher was
explaining to her class that
in Spanish, unlike English,
nouns are designated as
either masculine or feminine.
“House” for instance, is
feminine: “la casa.”
“Pencil,” however, is
mascucline: “el lapiz.”
A student asked, “What
gender is ‘computer’?”
Instead of giving the answer,
the teacher split the class into
two groups, male and female,
and asked them to decide for
themselves whether
“computer” should be a
masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to
give four reasons for its
recommendation.
The men’s group decided
that “computer” should
definitely be of the feminine
gender (“la computadora”),
because:
1. No one but their creator
understands their internal
logic;
2. The native language they
use to communicate with
other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone
else;
3. Even the smallest
KATUWAANLANG
mistakes are stored in longterm
memory for possible
later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a
commitment to one, you find
yourself spending half your
paycheck on accessories for
it.
The women’s group,
however, concluded that
computers should be
masculine (“el computador”),
because:
1. In order to do anything
with them, you have to turn
them on;
2. They have a lot of data
but still can’t think for
themselves;
3. They are supposed to
help you solve problems, but
half the time, they are the
problem; and
4. When you commit to one,
you realise that if you had
waited longer, you could have
gotten a better model.

LEO Jul 21-Aug 21 AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
This month holds the
luckiest day of the year,
the day when Jupiter,
the good fortune
planet, is due to meet up with the
mighty Sun. This is an annual event
that we all always anticipate with
enthusiasm. This year, these two
“heavy hitters” of the solar system
will meet on November 21.
Give yourself some
slack and by all
means, don’t rush.
When the answer
comes to you, you’ll know. Actually,
you will benefit from holding off
on decisions until November 20
anyway, so until then, keep your
options open. Your family will want
your attention.
VIRGO Aug 22-Sep 22 PISCES Feb 19-Mar 20
You will play a
leading role in many
gatherings, and during
the first two weeks,
you will need to untangle snags that
will inevitably come up. Everyone
will be looking to you for direction,
and you will be able to provide it.
Keep smiling, and be confident that
all your efforts will prosper.
There will be a spiritual
touch to November
that will appeal to you,
so get set for one of
the very best months of the year. If
previous obligations have kept you
at home, some unexpected events
may give you time for a
much-deserved holiday either alone
or with someone special.
