Woodworks :: March 2004

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
You know that favorite food isn't good for you, but it will help you through some difficult times this month. Don't learn to rely on it, but it will be alright to indulge once in a while. Avoid bringing your meals to the art table or computer with you; a small accident could be an expensive mistake.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Make a favorite meal for the that certain someone, and ignite a little romance in your life! Carry that floaty sense of giddy joy with you when you sit down to do some creative work. You'll probably end up drawing something depressing and gory, but that's the way the muse goes sometimes.

Aries (March 21 - April 20)
You didn't actually believe that dweeb who told you that was healthy, did you? They were wrong. Read the ingredients! In fact, don't take anything at face value this month. Keep your feet on the ground and your chin up and you'll be able to get that nagging project finished.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
Head out to your favorite restaurant for a great retreat with a friend you haven't seen for a while. You'll find that putting your head together with theirs results in a rush of creative energy and enthusiasm for a half-finished project that just might get you through to the finish. Remember to take your leftovers home with you.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Don't even attempt to cook that difficult dish this month. The burnt fingers won't be worth the mediocre results. Stick to safe meals and when you're scheduling your month, guess high on the amount of time everything will take. Your creative work will suffer a certain amount of flatness if you try to crank out too much, but there will be one piece you will be enormously happy with.

Cancer (June 21 - July 20)
Stock up on some easy-to-make, easy-to-eat foods, because the muse will take you by the brain and insist that shopping and cooking and sitting down at the table is for the lame and uninspired. Go forth! Create! You'll love the creative rush. It's better than pickles.

Leo (July 21 - August 21)
Once you pinpoint that food that's giving you ill health and poor sleep, you'll have a difficult choice to make. Try cutting it out of your diet for a month and see if your life improves. Take your grief out on a blank page and you'll at least have one less blank page taunting you.

Virgo (August 22 - September 22)
You need silly food. Something made of marshmallows, maybe. With red number 6 and something ends in -phate that you can't otherwise pronounce. Then you should figure out why it is that you need silly food and take some time off from your day job.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Someone will bring you an unexpected sweet treat. Reward them with that sparkling smile (for shock value, if nothing else). Go back to a creative piece that you had given up on... you'll find some great new energy and a way to fix that pesky problem.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
It's a good month for seafood. No, really. Try to expand your horizons a little creatively, and spend a little time researching what's already out there in your field. Start taking a little mid-day siesta, if possible, and quit wearing those two colors together!

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 20)
Noodles! You'll be inundated by noodles this month; noodle-headed artists, noodle-brained customers, and maybe you'll even get whipped with wet noodles for something dumb you did last month. I recommend a good pesto sauce to finish it off.

Capricorn (December 21 - January 19)
Wash your hands after eating, or you'll have an unpleasant sticky mess on your keyboard later. You might want to clean up some of your on-line accounts this month, too. Some of them have space limits you're fast approaching and some of them have things you just don't need cluttering things up.
