Woodworks :: August 2004

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Avoid joining that tantalizing cult. They really aren't out for your best interests. In fact, they aren't out for anyone's best interests, they're just clever folks who are bored. And that's a bad combination. Meditate. You'll solve a problem that's been bothering you.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Go water your plants. They need it. While you're at it, give some thought to adding some interesting plant adaptation to the world you are creating. Burn some incense, there are some bad smells about!

Aries (March 21 - April 20)
You'll feel boring this month, but others will find you fascinating and interesting. Humor them and wear something shocking. Try some of those writing or drawing exercises you know you should be doing and you'll discover a new technique that will work very well with your style. Pick up a good luck token to get you through some tough times later in the month.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
Watch your back this month. No, nothing terrible is going to happen, but you will find a neat solution for an old problem if you are paying attention. Pull out some older work this month and enjoy a trip down memory lane. It wasn't all awful! Offer burnt sacrifices to a god of your choice.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Temperature will play a big role in your life this month. You'll spend much of your time trying to find a good comfort zone, and folks will get tired of your griping. Try channeling your frustration through a creative work of some kind, but don't expect great results. Indulge in that brain opiate TV show or video game when you need some down time.

Cancer (June 21 - July 20)
The orient will play a significant role in your creative work this month. If you have a chance, do some in-depth research into the field. It will pay off in an unexpected way. Watch out against being overly superstitious, it's honestly just coincidence.

Leo (July 21 - August 21)
Cute and fuzzy will be your theme for the month, and someone close to you will mock you for it. Kick them, if you like, but not too hard. They might kick back. The person in question will turn out to be a big support to you when something unfortunate happens late in the month. Pray. You'll confuse people.

Virgo (August 22 - September 22)
You might reconsider that religious change of mind from earlier this year when you discover something about the past of a person close to you. Try not to bring too many preconceived notions to a business meeting. Keep a sketchbook handy and explore symbolism in your work this month.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Watch the sky and keep your spirits up with chocolate or another food of temptation. Try to avoid getting into the rut of drawing or writing the same thing over and over again. You've got some seriously great ideas; go ahead and explore them, no matter how off-the-beaten trail they might feel.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 22)
Are you still hung up on that? You've got to learn to let minor slights go, and you'll be much, much happier with your life. Spend some time on cleaning up your work area this month, because next month you're going to need all the help you can get. Wear green.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 20)
Work harder at that goal you've been putzing around towards; you'll never get there at that rate! It might not be as much fun as that game or that addictive chatroom or forum, but it will get you much further in life. Check out that article of clothing that is showing some strain before you try to wear it in public.

Capricorn (December 21 - January 19)
It is time to throw out that cherished item. Yes, it's hard to part with it and it will be difficult to replace, but you've had as many happy memories out of it as you are going to get. Try changing your soap or shampoo; the new smell will brighten your day and lift your spirits. It's the little things in life.
