CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY
Kevin James turns 46 on Tuesday. The burly comedian and actor won the hearts of bear lovers everywhere with his show The King of Queens. Initially, his film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry with Adam Sandler was deemed as insulting to the community, but GLAAD defended it saying, “in its own disarming way, it’s a call for equality and respect.”

THIS WEEK
Mars, Jupiter and Eris are all lining up together in Aries. This is a very rare triple conjunction that increases impulsiveness, aggression and competitiveness. Fights and wars are very likely to break out. As ethnic and sexual/gender communities become more assertive there is likely to be a strong reaction. Think ahead and keep your eyes open!
………………………..
TAURUS Apr 20-May 20
Personal problems on the back burner are liable to boil over. Current upsets could prove to be blessings in disguise. Swallow your pride and get perspective by helping others.
GEMINI May 21-Jun 20
Your friends’ support help you achieve anything, but do you support them? Talk with them to see how your intentions dovetail and overlap. Generosity and synergy are keys to success.
CANCER Jun 21-Jul 22
A little audacity goes a long way, but your eagerness for success comes off way too hard. Study The Art of War by Sun Tzu, not the march-and-slaughter techniques of General Ulysses Grant.
LEO Jul 23-Aug 22
The more you keep your mouth shut the more you will understand where your opportunities are. There is a time to roar, loud and fierce. Think surgical, not sledgehammer.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sep 22
Trying to convince others you’re hot undermines the effect. If you have to tell people you are, you’re not. Just knowing it and feeling it will carry the message.
LIBRA Sep 23-Oct 22
What most people overlook about Libras is that you can be very shrewd competitors. A fierce side is coming out. Rein in that passion and think ahead.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
Do your best work. Trying to best others will arouse anger. Keep that attitude in your exercise. Pushing yourself too hard is dangerous, and pushing others aside could start a fight.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 20
Find a creative way to express your fierceness, in writing, song or onstage. Any artistic medium is good, but if it involves sharps, flames or chemicals, be careful!
CAPRICORN Dec 21-Jan 19
Are you channeling Scarlett O’Hara? Fight for your home or community, but pick your battles carefully and be careful not to cross swords needlessly with those closest to you.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
Your mouth is more dangerous than ever. Efforts to be witty, provocative and incisive can go way over the top before you realize half of what you said. If it’s too brilliant, write it down.
PISCES Feb 19-Mar 19
Your finances could skyrocket or just blow up in your face. Discipline and hard work are the key. You may need to think fast and move fast, but be sure to think first. Guard against impulse.
ARIES Mar 20-Apr 19
Never forget the people who have helped you along. Even your opponents deserve respect at the very least for how they’ve challenged you and forced you to improve.
