Double Team Psychic Dream
By Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo
Fun fact: In the span of one week, the moon
which rules our emotions drifts through approximately three different
constellations (zodiac signs); it's why moods can be so damn moody.
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
We at the Psychic Dream Enigmatic Riddle Dispensary
have a good one for you this week, Aries. What is the difference between
intuition and emotion? Both are fluffy, vague, and confusing, but here's
a hint: one will pull you toward what you want, and one will only drown
your precious sense of self.
Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
Good news, Taurus: You're not allowed to make any decisions
this week. It's a time for soul-searching and navel gazing. Sit back
and watch the changes happen around you. It's true they're beyond your
control, but that doesn't mean they don't serve you.
Gemini
(May 21-June 21)
Lots of dazzling, frenetic energy swirling around your
little scene this week, Gemini. It brings a swell of fresh notions that
make you feel fabulous but also scare the crap out of you. We're talking
about an exciting new way to communicate love, here, so try to stop
acting so triggered and freaked-out.
Cancer
(June 22-July 22)
Well, we warned you, Cancer, but it looks like recent
overstimulation has left you with a Caligula-size hangover. Is it gut-twisting
indigestion, old-fashioned whiskey head, or a sweet love hangover from
an emotional bender? Chalk it up to another "life experience,"
relax, and let it pass.
Leo
(July 23-Aug. 22)
You're making the right moves, Leo; you're betting on
the fastest horses and selecting the most flattering colors and tossing
all the yummiest spices into the pot. You're magic this week, but it's
a hard-earned magic after weeks of buttheads getting in your way. Any
project you begin now will kick serious ass in the future.
Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Yes, the world is as scary as you think it is, Virgo,
and by all means you should avoid it this week. Take a vacation to your
favorite place in the world: home sweet home. Treat yourself to dinner
at your own gourmet kitchen, settle in, and hide out. We'll let you
know when it's time to emerge.
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The times, they are a-changin', Libra, but you've got
the fancy footwork to maintain an intricate balance and your delicate
sanity. And you've got the good fortune to be plopped down in a protected
and cozy place to leisurely enjoy all the pretty lights in the sky as
your new day dawns.
Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
It's a downward growth this week, Scorpio. Persephone-style,
you're descending into your own underworld to have a showdown with whatever
you've been hiding from yourself. As repression leads to obsession,
you'll probably recognize the beast from its cameos in your nightly
dreams.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Happy half-birthday, Sag! We at Psychic Dream Industries
have a gift for you: permission to be yourself. Let us take all this
gaudy faux shit off your back so you can luxuriate in the pure glamour
of your own authenticity.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Whoa, Capricorn! Your ideas are changing so rapidly
you may be tempted to cling for dear life, but the best thing would
be to unclench those fists of yours and let go. With a new set of thoughts
will come a new set of needs, so start getting comfy with change. It's
time to rock the boat a little the status quo ain't your pal
this week.
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The paint on the canvas has dried, gentle Aquarius,
the cake is baked, what's done is done, it's ov-ah. Snap back to the
present and stop trying to fiddle around with history lest you go totally
nuts. Focus on clarifying what you want right now.
Pisces
(Feb. 19-March 20)
It's a Calgon-take-me-away life you're living right
now, Pisces, the kind of week when you defiantly say, "I deserve
it!" and blow all your dough on a seaweed wrap at some bougie spa.
Well, you do deserve it, so do something sweet to help you deal with
the world's pressures this week.
