CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY
Boy George turns 50 on Tuesday. The ’80s music icon announced earlier this year that he and the rest of Culture Club will reunite for a 30th anniversary tour as well as a new album for 2012. Although the band’s non-updated official website gives us pause. Here’s hoping he’ll tumble for us soon and without the drama.

THIS WEEK
Mercury moves into Cancer, squaring Uranus and triggering outbursts, mostly tempests in teapots, but Jupiter softens the square, offering practical wisdom that might be gleaned from those brainstorms and arguments. Mercury will also aspect Neptune and Pluto, drawing ideas and conversations to bizarre extremes; deep and inspiring, but be pragmatic!
……………
GEMINI May 21-Jun 20
In financial matters, family is more reliable than friends. Evaluate advice without giving away what you plan to do, unless you’re consulting an expert. Listen to your partner’s opinion.
CANCER Jun 21-Jul 22
Opening up a bit is good for you, but be careful. Friendly and conversational is good; just don’t reveal everything. What you say affects your professional reputation.
LEO Jul 23-Aug 22
Dazzling your friends is easy. Be more creative and don’t worry who notices. You need downtime to balance private desires and public expression. Consider what sacrifices are necessary.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sep 22
Rising to economic challenges helps you go far. Your partner and friends exaggerate your talents, but they’re not entirely wrong. Modesty includes acknowledging the range of your talents.
LIBRA Sep 23-Oct 22
Start talking up your ambitions and accomplishments. Count on colleagues to support you. Your partner’s good intentions in that regard could do more harm than good.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
Outspokenness gets you in trouble with colleagues. Watch your tongue at work, but don’t be shy with your partner or friends. At the right time, your ribald wit could be brilliant.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 20
Exploring new sexual techniques unlocks avenues of creativity. Watch what you discuss and where. Digging up family secrets can help keep you out of trouble and deepen that creative spurt.
CAPRICORN Dec 21-Jan 19
Getting involved help you clarify where you really belong in the world, what you’ve learned from elders to pass on to future generations, and what you could be doing for the kids.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
You are more outspoken and innovative. That includes disruptive outbursts, distractions and accidents. Find a safe outlet to be as outrageous as you like. Elsewhere, think ahead and cool it.
PISCES Feb 19-Mar 19
Feeling lost is the first step toward finding yourself. Expressing questions is more important than finding answers. Find your way through art and mysticism. Let friends provide grounding.
ARIES Mar 20-Apr 19
Bold moves prove profitable, but keep your eyes forward. The difference between bold and reckless is the difference between success and disaster. Double check your instincts.
TAURUS Apr 20-May 20
Loquacious urges reveal more than you intended. That is advantageous, relieving the pressure of needless secrets. For those you do need to keep quiet, have a chat with someone you trust.
