Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Some young person in your life is going to have you wondering how difficult strangling someone really is, and then they will promptly turn around and do something adorable, so swallow those homicidal urges. Kids are cute on purpose. You'll also find that your art suffers due to demands on your time this month.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Food will be what you need to persuade your muse to come to you this month. Physical aches and pains may keep you from doing what you really want to, but you'll find that it will also provide a certain amount of inspiration. Avoid nuts with skins this month.

Aries (March 21 - April 20)
You will find blissful freedom from some problem that has been irritating you. You didn't even realize how badly it bugged you until it was gone. Use your relief productively to get some art done, and you'll be enormously pleased with the turnout.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
Go for quantity this month, instead of quality. Do lots of really fast sketches, pages of character vignettes, whatever strikes your fancy. It will give you the groundwork for some really amazing turnout in the coming months. Quit overusing the color blue.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
People will sometimes drive you buggy, but you will find that you can tune them out if you concentrate hard enough. The level of concentration you need will greatly depend on the environment you are able to create for yourself, and you may want to take the time to clean up that desk, dust off that lava lamp, and put on some good music.

Cancer (June 21 - July 20)
Go for the gold!! An opportunity will present itself this month that you will hesitate to apply for. You may not think you're good enough, or can commit enough time or energy to a project, but you'll find that if you are bold enough to take that first step, the rewards will be unnumbered.

Leo (July 21 - August 21)
Pace yourself. This month's creative energy will be sporadic. And when you're done, stop, don't add filler or backgrounds just because you think you should.

Virgo (August 22 - September 22)
Someone unexpected will have good advice for you, so keep your ears and mind open. Clichés are going to be popping up underfoot everywhere that you look, so be careful not to fall into some common traps. Consider redecorating that living space.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Avoid watching too much television this month. Try limiting yourself to just one or two favorite shows, and consider other forms of relaxation. Look up as you go about your day. You'll find an increased awareness of space and relationship that adds a depth to your creative work that was lacking.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
Dancing will be prevalent in your art and writing work this month, and it's a good idea to add it to your life, if you can. Wear comfortable shoes. Nuts aren't just for squirrels, remember; they have lots of good protein and energy.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 20)
Make up words this month, because you won't find exactly what you want to say already part of your first language. Be wary of looking too closely for things that are going wrong, because they are always there if you look for them. Avoid screwdrivers.

Capricorn (December 21 - January 19)
It is a month for endings. Finish up that piece of artwork or story, get that package mailed, and say goodbye to that person in your life that's moving on. Not all of them will be sad; you will find that some difficult issues will be resolved this month as well.
