Your fiery nature ignites a skirmish against a rival team. Funnel your energies into something positive, and stop it. You know, before someone loses an eye.
 
''The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)''<br>
You seem to be in a bit of a bawdy phase. Doesn't seem like a lasting turn. The slightest overstepping of your boundaries will turn you prim again.
 
''The Dice (October 11 - November 10)''<br>
Missing a piece of your interpersonal jigsaw is even worse than misplacing your key. This is a good week to take out a personal ad. Go on, it's only your pride.
 
''The Maze (November 11 - December 10)''<br>
Unexpected ventures haven't turned out well for you. It's time to get back to basics. Traditional values are on the rise.

Your newfound spirit of independence has opened many portals. Pay no heed to those who would direct your course; use your own internal compass.
 
''The Baby (February 11 - March 10)''<br>
You are as beautiful as a flower. Why do you let this ugly-minded person make you dinner? (Eel and cucumber rolls can be lucky for all signs, really. Yum.)
 
And remember, it's not how you play the game, it's how the game plays you, kiddo.
 
 
'''Futures from the week of April 4 edition:'''
 
''The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)''<br>
Persistence pays; this is the week for you to be stubborn.  Stand your ground.  Beware the Jug who will try to derail you.
 
''The Spider (April 11 - May 10)''<br>
As your skirmish rolls on, you may require a distraction.  A fluffy movie, a new pair of shoes, or some Earth-lit might be perfect to lift your spirits.
 
''The Wave (May 11 - June 10)''<br>
Try your brain at your local puzzle open this week.  I know you can be intimidated by live events, but you owe it to yourself to give it a shot.  You're making great strides.</p>
 
''The Archer (June 11 - July 10)''<br>
Intelligence has driven you where you are.  It is, however, not everything.  You're becoming cold, and I fret that you'll freeze out your support system.
 
''The Half-filled Jug (July 11 - August 10)''<br>
Endgame can't come too soon for you, eh?  Take some time to really explore your world fully now.  Breathe it in while you still have a chance.
 
''The Dragon (August 11 - September 10)''<br>
"Nice spec.  Buy you a drink?"  This haggard line was actually used on me at a puzzlebar this weekend.  Needless to say, I had to retort with another classic: "What's your sign, baby?"  Dragons, get new material.  Please.
 
''The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)''<br>
Cased any joints lately?  Several Balls I know are up to no good.  Crime doesn't pay, dudes.
 
''The Dice (October 11 - November 10)''<br>
Expect a windfall.  Then do the opposite of your norm.  Rather than putting those Lecks back into the games, please set some aside.  You'll need them next month.
 
''The Maze (November 11 - December 10)''<br>
Kick those energy leeches out of your life.  You know you have to sooner or later!
 
''The Apple-Thief (December 11 - January 10)''<br>
If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended.  That you have but slumbr'd here, whilst these visions did appear.
 
''The Hand (January 11 - February 10)''<br>
Does my third eye deceive me?  Are you really eyeing the Three Balls?  If you want to end up like Joya and Alejo, I suppose it's really none of my business.
 
''The Baby (February 11 - March 10)''<br>
Spring is all sprungy, so splurge on something cute and pastel.  Nothing works as well as fashion for a panacea!
 
''And remember,'' you won't help children grow by pulling them up higher.
