Stargayzer February 2011

Love is in the air—and in the heavens

by Charlene Lichtenstein

There are many colors and shapes to love so why limit yourself to only red valentines this February? With four planets traversing Aqueerius it is possible to spread the love to all of humanity… whether they deserve it or not.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

February is a whirlwind of social activity for proud Rams who are hot to trot a lot. What will happen when you get the gang together? Mischief ensues! But as you glide along with your guest list, expand your realm of influence by meeting new folks. And that may mean running with the herd for while instead of leading it. There is time to crack the whip next month. Ouch!!

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Corporate sharks may try to take a bite out of you, but you are well prepared to bite back. Queer Bulls who hanker to rule the roost can prepare their big move now. All clever career calculations hit their mark when even the heaviest political push is forgiven and applauded. But be discreet in your maneuverings. Don’t make it too apparent that you are the heir apparent.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Pink Twins take to the road or the high seas to seek adventure and affirmation. Good! February provides the energy, the curiosity and the dreams of romantic glory. There might be some surprises at work that cause you to reassess what you are doing and where you are in the food chain. Contemplate your fate on some faraway beach while sipping cocktails.

Cancer (June 22-July 23)

Passion plays are in the stars for you this Valentine’s month. So strut your stuff and show the world the meaning of pride. Gay Crabs with a yen for a certain taste can find it on the sexual tasting menu. And you look like a lavender plate special yourself. The secret to your Valentine’s success is to be discreet and discerning. Oh well, you can’t have everything!

Leo (July 24-Aug. 23)

Relationships take center stage for you—from getting them to holding them. Expect partners to be feisty and fun. For those proud Lions on the prowl for new connections, it is possible to locate some likely prey in places that are far afield from home—even internationally located. So if domestic bliss is not in the stars, maybe some hot foreign tawdry times are.

Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 23)

Queer Virgins are especially efficient this February and are tempted to burn the midnight oil at work. But all work and no work-out makes you sluggish and dull. Change the dynamic, get off your office chair and hire a personal trainer to hone your bod in time for cruise season. Fairly soon all those Valentine’s sweets look sweet on you. And won’t that be swell!

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Proud Libras enjoy a festive party or three this February. You will have your choice of a range of raucous and fun playdate options. But it won’t be all chaste hand holding and platonic merry making. Get ready. The dance music revs up, the energies ratchet up and Valentine’s Day promises to bring more spice than sugar to your bowl. Stir briskly.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

If you have an itch to revamp your surroundings to something more… ahem… daring, then scratch away! Queer Scorps may decide to go with a jungle motif or antique bordello. Friends and family may criticize you. But so what? Remember: Whatever your personal taste, your home has to reflect the real you... no matter how much the colors clash.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 22)

Gay Archers tell it like it is and are not above complaining when they feel neglected. But instead of stirring the waters and creating an unintended tidal wave of kvetch, why not mellow out and concentrate on finding your gay muse this Valentine’s month? Relax, have fun and be mellow. You achieve great heights of artistic genius... or at least you think so.

Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)

Pink Caps feel especially generous and can spread their largess all through February. Your heart is in the right place. Now put your finances in the right place too. Do your research, ask the right questions and take calculated action. Then corner the market on good investment ideas. They say wealth is intoxicating. Feel the buzz.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Aqueerians have a way of bursting on the scene this February. Be careful not to knock over the scenery! This is a great month to meet new people and expand your contact list. Aqueerians can make a wonderful first impression and a memorable imprint on others. All these efforts place you right where you want to be. Err and where exactly is that?

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Karma shines and good fortune can come to you this February. Charitable actions lead to huge rewards, so volunteer for a worthy gay cause (is there any other?) and prepare for a warm cosmic pat on the back. Guppies can plan a Valentine’s tete a tete. If you can’t get a couple of tetes together, try a luxurious bubble bath and a bottle of Champagne instead.
