Star Signs

Girls' Life, Oct-Nov, 2002 by Lola Starz

Libra 9/23-10/23

OCTOBER: Christmas is a couple months away, but you oughta be making a list and checking it twice. A priorities list, that is. Time to figure out the diff between fluff and serious stuff. Like, no, you don't turn in a book report a day late because you have a hot date.

NOVEMBER: Christmas is next month--time to put together that other list. A gift list, that is. Stash cash now for holiday spending or you could come up shortchanged.

Scorpio 10/24-11/22

October: Time is definitely not on your side if you're wishin' upon a star that there were 25 hours in a day. Put your righteous resourcefulness skills to use.

November: As long as you're not scared stiff to speak up, that boy could soon be yours. Happy birthday!

Sagittarius 11/23-12/21

October: Don't let dud buds rain on your Halloween parade. Who says you're too old to trick-or-treat? Free candy! Twizzlers, Snickers, M&M's, mmmmmm...

November: Let go, and let somebody else take charge for a change, Archer chick. Slam on the brakes, and take a much-needed break.

Capricorn 12/22-1/20

October: Don't let friend fights distract you from your school studies. Bury yourself in some textbooks until the whole blasted thing blows over. Good, Goat.

November: Now that you and the girls have kissed and made up, you're too busy volunteering to clock in quality hang time. Why not get the gang to join in on the good cause?

Aquarius 1/21-2/18

October: Tell the smart set to step aside. There's a new girl at the top of the A list. A in history, A in geography, A in science, A in algebra, A in...

November: You and the girls aren't getting along? Don't think of it as arguing--consider it an intelligent, thought-provoking debate.

Pisces 2/19-3/20

October: In need of some soul-searching, Fishie? Shut your eyes tight, and take a good, long look inside yourself.

November: You are absolutely, positively in need of a change of scenery. If the folks aren't taking you over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving, consider redecorating your boudoir.

Aries 3/21-4/19

October: Doing a little emotional cleansing, are we? Turn to your trusty diary to unload all the dirt. Just make sure you lock it up securely so it doesn't become the subject of your little brother's next book report.

November: Ram girl, you've certainly got that team spirit! And some super-competitive soul, sister!

Taurus 4/20-5/20

October: It's a perfect time for a crush connection. As long as you and your dude don't get your signals crossed, things should be absolutely electric. Just make sure you don't get burned in the long run. Slow, sister, slow.

November: Sorry, Bull, but you could be coming down with a serious case of school burnout. Juggle projects strategically so you'll have more time to have fun, fun, fun...or to just ch-ch-chill.

Gemini 5/21-6/21

October: Put on a happy face, Kiddo. You could be letting loads of not-so-serious stuff weigh you down. Lighten up, and snap out of it--pronto! Yes, that's an order.

November: Volunteered to create scenery for next month's holiday pageant? Cool! Just don't get behind in the books because Teach won't fall for any. snow jobs.

Cancer 6/22-7/22

October: You're one lovin' cup of creativity, aren't ya, Crab? Let that spectacular spirit spill over. It could be wonderfully contagious. Ah-choo!

November: Dear, why are you dwelling on that been-there/done-that dude? It's a done deal. There are plenty of fish in the big, blue sea. And you'll get a lot farther swimming freestyle than backstroke. Promise.

Leo 7/23-8/22

October: Feeling trapped inside four walls? It's called Cabin Fever. You know where the front door is, right? Free yourself from the confines of your domestic cage. But be careful because it's a jungle out there!

November: Current school hall protocol calls for you to exude major killer confidence all over the place. Start by making your locker rock with cut-out inspirational phrases like, "Grrrl, you're grrreat!" Because you really are, you know.

Virgo 8/23-9/22

October: Lola says it's time for you to make a stellar fresh start. Don those spankin' new Adidas tenners, and set off into sprint action. Ready, set, go. And don't stop until you break through the finish line!

November: Whether it's a biology lab project, a Thanksgiving dinner for your community's homeless shelter or decoration committee for the fall ball, it's you who gets everybody super-stoked for the brainstorm session. Break out the thinking caps!
