Because seriously, it would be nice to have a good month, especially creatively/professionally.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Your May Horoscope by Susan Miller

The past few months have been strenuous, but May will be all you want it to be, even exceeding your greatest expectations. It will be chockfull of fabulous opportunities on so many levels that you may be amazed at how things can so dramatically turn to your favor. A "grand trine" - considered the most harmonious, happiest aspect possible - will be shaping up in the heavens, and as a Virgo you will be front and center, perfectly positioned to enjoy all of them.

This golden triangle that will appear in the heavens near May 5 will link the energies of Pluto (transformations), Venus (love, happiness, and fun), and Saturn (stability and longevity). All these planets are in earth signs. The houses that bring you your greatest luck are the ones these planets are visiting. The three planets will form a bond between your fifth house (creativity, love, and children), your ninth house (foreign people / places, study, publishing, and broadcasting), and your first house (ruling the power of your determination and unique personality). All these areas will work together to create a magnificent month of opportunity for you.

The fact that the first house is included in this grand trine signifies that you should feel free to be "you" inside and out. As they say, let you be you. The most unique parts of you will be deeply appreciated now in a very genuine way, and your fresh perspective will be lauded.

If you are in a creative profession (and that would include writing) you should voice your ideas, for they will be heard - they may now bring you through a new door, one that you find infinitely right for you. There will be a sense of freedom and liberation, too, for others are finally "getting" what you are and what you want, and they will want to help you succeed. If you've wondered when to launch a major project, it's now!

I'm serious. Do not toy with me. I will be Most Displeased.

You Are a Lemon

You have a very distinct personality. And if you're not being sweet, you're a little hard to take. You're a bit overpowering, especially in one on one situations. And while you are very dominant, sometimes your power is needed and appreciated. You can liven up a dull situation, and you definitely bring a fresh outlook. You are a bit of an acquired taste, and you tend to grow on people over time. People feel refreshed and rejuvenated after spending time with you.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Perhaps you have reached a phase in your life when work starts to lose its prominence. Of course, you must be dutiful enough to meet your responsibilities or everything could fall apart. But in order to do something extraordinary, you might have to push your own personal envelope and take a risk. Talk about your fears now, for it will be harder to deal with them later.

Talk about my fears? Ha. How much time d'you have?

Looking through my closet the other day, I realized I have writeritis with respect to the contents. At one end of the spectrum, I have a passel of sweats and tees, way over at the other are cocktail/formal dresses. Not much in the middle. So I've been trying to bridge the gap a bit more with some daytime dresses and everyone and their mother is having a decent sale, so I bought these:



Ought to get me through conference season, especially since I'm going to so few of them this year, relatively speaking.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
You could get distracted by work issues over the next few days, so it's crucial to get your answers before the current circumstances change. But it's not just about resolving the tension; you stand to gain now by deepening your understanding of the situation.


I hope to high heaven this means I can take these revisions from good to freakin' great.

You know, I think I need another purely pretty Cabana Boy today, but I don't even have the energy to go looking.

How sad is that?
