Double Team Psychic Dream
By Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo

July 13-19

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's summertime, Aries. And even if that means nothing to us fog-bound San Franciscans, we here at Double Team Vacations think you need to relax. Go sit on your stoop with a beer or something. Life is topsy-turvy, sure, but not as much as it has been, so calm down.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taurus, if you don't like something, don't buy it. You could file that advice under Duh, We Know, but you run the risk of settling for second best in the material world this week. And any lackluster purchases, decisions, or movements will come back to haunt your house.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

You're all shook up on the inside, Gemini. Little emotional earthquakes are bouncing things around, and what you needed to be happy last week is not what excites you today. This goes beyond regulation Gemini fickleness – get present and honor your new reality.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Cancer, don't be one of those love-the-one-you're-with types this week. It's totally possible for you to hook up with someone who inspires no desire and no passion, but quells your fear of being alone. In the end, though, you'll just be a bundle of insecurity, so hold out for true love.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week, Leo, we beseech you to choose reality, even if it's scary to look at. And by reality we mean your reality. We know you'd rather zone out watching Blow Out marathons on VH1, but if you don't face your situation, it's going to jump you when you're not looking.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week, Virgo, it is everyone else's fault. How glorious! Not that you don't have a hand in the social problems you face – the fools you hang out with reflect choices you've made and attitudes you have about yourself. Take responsibility for your bad decisions and start firing people.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libra, you're in the right place at the right time and having the right impulses. That must feel fabulous! But underneath all the excitement lurk the mundane pressures of the daily grind. Don't take on so much glitz and glamour that you forget to pay your phone bill and deal with other necessary details.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week try dealing with your situation, Scorpio, not the situations of everyone around you. Oh, we know, everyone's getting more money than you, more love, more opportunities, better shoes. Don't involve your ego in your scarcity trip. Whining about what you think you're supposed to have is just as bad as bragging about what you've got.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sag, you've got to put yourself out there this week, even if you need to kick your own ass to make it happen. We know you'd rather be home watching Animal Planet, but it's important to get out there and strengthen the things in your life that bring you security.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You know how sometimes you're on a long march, protesting the stupid war, or maybe hoofing it with a bunch of gay people down Market Street, and the next day your body hurts? This week, Capricorn, you come to the end of a psycho-emotional long haul, and man, do you need a rest.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarius, you rule this week! Potential and opportunity abound for you freaky freaks. The trick is to know yourself well enough to see which opportunities suit your needs and which are way too tacky. Your head will be abuzz, so take time to ground and center.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

OK, Pisces, this week sucks. We aren't going to lie to you. But if you can just trust that all the great changes you've made in the past six to nine months have left you strong enough to get through the coming shitstorm, you'll be much more at peace.
